An Open Letter to the Three Men I Admire Most

That's a misnomer, but in keeping with my own personal tradition of trying to name these posts using rock and roll lyics or references, it was the best I could do. Actually, it's two men I admire most and a massive in-human corporation.
Dear Steve Jobs, Bob Dylan, and Sony Music,

I'd like to suggest a colaboration between the three of you to raise money for the rebuilding of New Orleans: specifically whatever charity pops up to help the old bluesmen, or to rebuild sites like Preservation Hall.

Put Bob's version of "Down in the Flood" from the Masked and Anonymous soundtrack as a special download on i-tunes. All of the money, all ninety-nine cents per download, could go to that rebuilding fund.

It's a winner, and I think it's on-message for all of your interests.

Sincerely,

Bob's biggest fan.
