Ludacris, True Blue

Ludacris, I respect your concern for our country's future. The more people who get involved in this election the better.

I listened to your song "Politics: Obama is Here." You told the truth, just too truly. You've done good, but Obama has to distance himself from you.

Don't fret, my young rapper, your message is understood by all of us, and some of us don't judge your language . You aren't the only one angry at those political hacks, and we respect that you're brave and care enough to sing about your feelings.

Dead Presidents Talk

Good news while I was running the rapids in my kayak.

Those wonderful Capital Records echo chambers have been saved.

You got to love it! Second Street, the developers, have agreed to a number of efforts to preserve these works of art.

According to a statement released by the EMI music group: "The agreement will protect the acoustic integrity and operations of the Capitol Records Studios and ensure it continues as one of the world's premiere recording facilities, as it has for more than 50 years." Plus, this old Robert, heard the developers will pay $100,000 to promote the studio within the recording community. As usual it's the dead presidents that do the talking.
