Kudos to SPEC, exciting politics, and the end of DRM?

From the front page of the DP:

This morning, SPEC Concerts announced that they will be distributing an additional 200 tickets to the Spring Fling concert through a lottery system.

Way to go SPEC! They deserve much credit for putting together what will be a great Fling concert. Check out their website for more details and info on Fling.

We are in some exciting exciting political times with Harry Reid calling Bush's bluff and threatening to cut off war funding. It finally looks like Reid will stand up to Bush and who knows what the White House will do.

Also today, we have all the details on presidential fundraising figures and Romney suprised today with $12.5 million. It was totally unexpected and Chris Matthews was all over it today on Hardball, delving into the fact that Romney is a Mass. flip-flopper, sound familiar? Chris Bowers discusses how Romney should be the Democrats' ideal opponent for '08.

After waking up today and reading my free copy of the NYTimes (yes, the one provided by the UA) I was expecting some 'big' announcement from EMI and Apple. Turns out, we won't get the Beatles on Itunes any time soon, but EMI will be selling all of their music sans-DRM. The beginning of a trend? I hope so! The recording industry needs to finally wake up and realize that they can no longer prop up their failing business model and that they actually need to innovate to continue to make money.
