1. As always, the best thing about writing DaveNet is what comes back. There are smart and powerful people reading this stuff. I'm glad they read it, and I'm even happier when they write back.
2. Yesterday my day was made by an email from Mickey Kapp, a retired music industry exec. Mickey ran Warner Brothers in the rock and roll era. Now he's back on-line helping the current execs at Warners sort out their options relating to music and the Internet.
3. I expected Mickey to take odds with my point of view, but, to my surprise, he said the pitch was good, and he saw a win-win coming. This would be incredible. I hope the logjam breaks. Wouldn't it be great if all of a sudden the big name artists of all the big labels were available on the Internet? I think it would make almost everyone happy. In an instant the whole networked music world could grow by a billion percent!
4. And as a writer and opinionist, this is the best news. I win when I help move things along. That's what I like to do. Win-win. Forever. Think differently. Reallly.
