The August issue of MAD Magazine contains a feature entitled "Mad's 50 
Worst Things About Music."  It includes a number of things that we have 
been discussing here and on LTAR.  For example:

1. Record companies that charge $18 for a CD that costs them 75 cents to 
make ... then go to Congress and complain that Napster is stealing.

11. Phase One of commercial radio's master plan -- to play the same eight 
crappy songs over and over until no one can stand it -- is complete.  
Phase Two -- to make desperate chumps pay for the "miracle" of satellite 
radio -- is officially underway.

23. Pointless Washington D.C. hearings on music that just so happen to 
occur every election year.  That way, Senators can dupe their voters into 
thinking that they're "doing something about" Rap (Although it's always 
classic comedy to watch dumb old white guys trying to discuss the 
Constitutionality of shizzling one's nizzle.)
