This week’s podcast is up

The latest edition of Shire Network News is up. My contribution discusses the Passover Seder and its meanings for today. The feature interview is with one of the Right Brothers, who put out the new “Bush Was Right” song. I wonder if he asked them if they’re worried about being sued by Billy Joel for having a tune that’s awfully close to “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

If you think you need an iPod to listen to a podcast, you don’t. All you need is a computer with a speaker that plays mp3 files. Windows generally runs them via Windows Media Player, something you probably all have if you have a Windows-based machine.

    He did. They’re not. If memory serves, the brother who was interviewed has a degree in commercial music, complete with a course in copyright law.

    When I was younger I was a big Billy Joel fan. I am still very fond of his music, with an emphasis on the pre-1980s works (yeah, I’m dating myself — oh, well).

  2. Okay, so my rant was a recycle of my old gag. Go figure.

    Does this make me the newweakest link?
