cultural revolution
I love Mark Morford so much. I get his newsletter (notifying me of his latest article), but sadly lately I've been so damn busy that I delete most all my newsletters knowing I don't have time to read them, let alone my magazines I subscribe to, or the blogs I like to read.But this one caught my eye... and I had to read it. Timely enough (as per my previous post) it's about the iPod! Maybe Mark Morford reads my blog! haha
Anyway - check it out:
Worship My Radiant iPod
Where were you when the cultural revolution happened again for the very first time?
By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

I was just talking about this with my drum teacher yesterday. He works at Ameoba, and I was saying now that I have this iPod I want mp3's, not CD's since that just means it's more to rip (and I still have a good 600 to go from my current collection!) - but that part of me is guilty about being a part of the possible/eventual demise of the record store. But he made a great point, and I think this is very much in line with Morford's article - is that you just can't fight technological advancement. It's going to happen no matter what. If it's not Napster, there will be another thing that springs up like it. If it's not iPod, something else will come of it. It's evolution and "you can't fight progress".
True that.

Speaking of, yesterday I did my first beat on the drum. Meaning I successfully had my foot do one thing, my one arm do another and the other do another. It was awesome! I've truly started at the beginning with this, but it's so cool to think I might actually be *good* some day!! I'm going to start practicing more. :)

p.s. if you have an RSS reader that notifies you when I publish or something - note that I always go back & edit it like 3 times in the following 10 minutes or so :) so refresh!
