...Grammys I went on MSNBC, CNN, "Charlie Rose" and even CNBC to talk about Slim Shady, a.k.a. Marshall Mathers. I'm still waiting for a call from the Food Network. My take on it basically boiled down to this: Eminem has some talent - all you have to do is listen to his smoothly rapped hook on "Forgot About Dre" to realize that. But, truth be told, his album isn't all that. Wyclef, OutKast, Dead Prez and even Dr.Dre made better, richer, edgier albums last year. And why are people giving Eminem credit for simply raising issues? If we gave...
...Saturday Night Live and the Late Show with David Letterman. He schmoozed with Prince Charles and Gwyneth Paltrow. ("I swore a lot when I met her," Gray says. "I'm a terrible swearer.") For a guy who not long ago had to insult audience members to get them to listen, this sudden stardom is both unfamiliar and intoxicating. "Everything has to change," he says. "I'm sure some fans will say, ?Well, I used to like him when ...' But I'm bloody glad success has come, and in such a brilliant way so that I actually feel I deserve...
...Dave Matthews-Gray has stayed on the road for more than a year, writing new songs in his head. He plans to go back to the studio early this year.

His constituency in this case isn't really the Buffets and Gateses of the world, more the middle-class rich, the single-digits multimillionaires who just want to have big houses and two Land Rovers and send their kids and grandkids to the Ivy Leagues for generations and generations...
...What are the ethics of Napster, anyway? Is it wrong to, say, listen to a friend's Supertramp album (aesthetics aside, that is)? Say your friend bought a copy of "Breakfast in America" years ago, back when people mistakenly thought Roger Hodgson was cool. Say your friend wanted to share this ugly chapter in his life by playing "The Logical Song" for you. Is it wrong for you to listen to this song, even though you personally didn't pay for it? I think...
