<nettime> Music Wants To Be Free

[Bruce Sterling <bruces {AT} well.com>]

(((You know something?  John Perry Barlow causes more
trouble to more self-appointed authority figures than
anybody I know.  People are still earnestly denouncing
John Perry for stuff he said *ten years ago.*  And now he's
throwing a psychedelic hippie *Be-In* in *Golden Gate Park*
with  -- wait for it -- with *Wavy Gravy.*  And he's gonna
screw with the people who went and stepped on Napster.  Wow.
That's so groovy, man.  That's just.... it's just so beautiful!)))
