Dave Stewart's American Prayer

Every once and a while this Robert is surprised by the power of music. Dave Stewart did just that. His song and video American Prayer is right on. The song is catchy and inspirational. It's loaded with people I know of and respect. The message is simple. I hope everyone sees this before November. This is important!

Tax Man Blues

Just when this Robert thinks it can't get any more screwed up than it is already. Two news stories got me really concerned and riled up my principles.

The first one claims most of the top companies doing business in our country don't pay any taxes. Even though we're a country at war, and our citizens are paying with their lives, our country's businesses are not paying anything at all.

At the same time some of the states in this fine country are either taxing or going to tax digital downloads. Seems bleeding us music lovers more, is the solution.

I thought thinking like this ended after share cropping ended. What's happening here? I thought I knew this country, but I don't know nothing.

$700,000, and Nobody's Home

Can you believe in this time of unemployment, no one will take a $700,000 job as the digital head of Sony BMG?

This Robert has seen some Sony BMG digital characters. They sure are a sorry lot. Do you know, Sony/BMG are dark ages. They don't even recognize the MP3 format?

Didn't BMG buy out and ruin Napster? And now I heard those same BMG worms are bailing out and selling their half of the recorded music company to Sony.

What losers.
