U2's manager on the state of the music industry

‘The Online Bonanza: Who is making all the money and why aren’t they sharing it?’
U2's long-time manager, Paul McGuinness, gave a speech to the MIDEM's music industry conference in Cannes. While I'm normally pretty cynical when I hear people in the music industry talking about the sad state of affairs, I have a lot of respect for U2 and their manager.

It turns out that "free music" is not an idea that satisfies everyone. If you're curious about the future of music (or more specifically, the business of music), some of the answers might come from the ideas that Mr. McGuinness presents here.

Texas Rangers 30, Baltimore Orioles 3 MLB Recap

MLB - Texas Rangers / Baltimore Orioles Recap Wednesday August 22, 2007
Uhhh, the Texas Rangers scored 30 runs?
It's pretty amazing that a modern game can have such a level of disparity that hasn't been seen in Baseball for over 100 years. That's sure going to improve the statistics for a whole bunch of Texas players, and destroy the ERAs for a few Baltimore Orioles players.

Kudos to the Texas Rangers for bringing the sports news back to the playing field, where it belongs.
