There&#39;s a song by a band I definitely don&#39;t listen to, &quot;Don&#39;t stop thinking about tomorrow,&quot; but the lyrics rather tellingly continue, &quot;Yesterday&#39;s gone, yesterday&#39;s

The British Department for Education and Skills (DfES) recently launched a "Music Manifesto" campaign, with the ostensible intention of educating the next generation of British musicians. Unfortunately, they also teamed up with the music industry (EMI, and various artists) to make this popular. EMI has apparently negotiated their end well, so that children in our schools will now be indoctrinated about the illegality of downloading music.The ignorance and audacity of this got to me a little, so I wrote an open letter to the DfES about it. Unfortunately, it's pedantic, as I suppose you have to be when writing to goverment representatives. But I hope you find it useful, and perhaps feel inspired to do something similar, if or when the same thing has happened in your area.

Toscanini forbade it. La Scala's management discouraged it. But the "encore" calls from the balconies proved too much for Juan Diego Florez to resist.

Bob Dylan, the voice of a generation, does not want to be known as the voice of a generation. He says as much at many points in this, the first of a projected three-volume autobiography that, of course, will be eagerly read by a generation. Such handles plainly irritate him and, here and there, provoke an unexpected response: Do you know what a drag it is to be me?
