<nettime> Music Wants To Be Free |
(((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!)))
