My Turkish Bluesman


Ahmet, my Turkish bluesman, your memorial concert was the best. The Zeppelin was flying high. It was special!

The world should see this beautiful event dedicated to your memory. But concert footage from attendees is being yanked down from YouTube. There were plenty of people who couldn't make it to the show, who would like to share a little of the tribute to you. But it looks like the soul of your concert is being twisted. At first it looked like Warners Music Group was continuing their heavy handed approach to the Internet, but that ain't true.

It seems the greedy band is planning selling a DVD of the concert, and they don't want the clips to soften sales. Was this the real plan all along? Using your treasured memory to market a DVD? Well I guess once you're gone you're fair game for this bunch.

No Hard Feelings


First, to those rock musicians who got rich stealing my riffs... I THANK YOU. I sure appreciate the fame you gave me, and I surely don't need the money you made off of my songs. I just wish I could have played one of those fine electric guitars.

Next, Ahmet Ertegun... I thank you for discovering the Led Zeppelin and Ray Charles. Plus, my Turkish blues man, if you got to go, backstage is as good a place as any.

Hey, Mr. Edgar Bronfman... ain't DRM the dumbest thing? Those Led Zeppelin CDs you're selling don't have any DRM. So ain't it like closing the hen house door after all the chickens have run out? Unless... you are the fox?
