Board is Alive. Thanks, Mike

[dj_niceshot]

Thanks, Mike, for the welcoming praise. Like anything else, it takes tragedy or a major event to awaken the slumbering board from either stiffling heat or minus 10 temps, with minus 20 Wind Chills.

It's probably the first issue since the 1996 Telecommunications Act that's clearly struck a nerve with both records and radio. It can affect Everyone, regardless of employer or career level, thus the heated and poignant debates and bantering. While it's not getting 'War on Terror' coverage, it's on pretty much all of the popular news sites, both in and out of the industry.

If you think the purpose of the whole crusade is to take down all the perps, it may be close to pointless in the end. Not very many people, and in all likelihood no companies, will walk the plank. But if you think the purposes are, 1) to stop the corruption from continuing and distorting the music and broadcasting businesses, and 2) to enhance further the career and image of NY's AG, then it's anything but pointless---because those two objectives, to force broadcasters and music companies to clean up their act from now on, and speed Spitzer to the governor's mansion (or maybe even further in time), are likely to be achieved.
