Gnarls Barkley.
Brilliant.
Beautiful.
One more reason to love art.
[NOTE: I consider myself a culturally aware child of the eights. I am supposed to say the best moment/performance of the evening was The Police. My love of ridicules pop music is even more powerful then my self-conscious desire to look/be hip and cool. My favorite moment of the night? No question, Shakira.]

Podcast
I hate the name podcast, but I love concept.
The ability to get great content, free, and listen to it when I want.
Some of my favorites:
This American Life: This is the radio program I wish I created. I think it is the best thing on radio, and it now a podcast. Brilliant story telling. I can cried more times listening to this show in the last year, then for ever other reason combined.
Studio 360: One of the editors of the long defunct “Spy” magazine hosts a weekly show about creativity. How we create. Why we create. Who is doing the creating.
The Onion: 52 seconds of laugh out loud funny 5 days a week.
CBC Radio 3: This is a weekly podcast (now downloaded by over 3 million people weekly) is all things Canadian music. You mean that doesn’t sound appealing? It is shockingly good. Over an hour of music you have never heard by people you have never heard of and it works. It is a reminder of how much really good music that is out there that isn’t being overly pushed by PR people. Sure there is some music I can do with out each week, but there are also gems. Music is now some of my favorites.

Problems
Sometimes you read something and it hits your square between the eyes.
From Seth Godin’s blog Sept 30th:
The first problem is the problem.
The second problem is your inability to admit the problem, talk about the problem and ask for help in solving the problem.
The second problem is your inability to admit the problem, talk about the problem and ask for help in solving the problem.
Wow!
