i read today that john peel, the famous british dj has died. rock afficianados are familiar w/ the john peel sessions, and other historic recordings. he was a champion of rock, early punk, hip-hop, various emerging scenes in the us, ireland and britain... a very important figure in popular music. he died in an ancient city on vacation in south america of a heart attack. weird.
on saturday night, just minutes after watching the pathetic corporate robot known publicly as ashley simpson perform on s.n.l., i changed the channel over to c-span and watched about an hour of jon stewart from the daily show talk about the media... to the media... and watched about an hour of a conversation w/ the governator - arnold.
he was at the pinetta institute talking about public policy, immigration, tax reform, pro-business policies, the environment, california's ailing infrastructure, the state's massive debt, special interest groups like the tribal gaming pac, border patrol, undocumented workers, reviewing over 1,200 state bills, conserving the national forests, etc.
in every single instance, arnold answered tough questions with clear, technical, well informed answers that quite honestly blew my mind. he's pro-choice, very sensible on the environment, shows strong will to bring businesses back to california, is for stem-cell research, and has the right policy toward immigration. to summarize, he's got the right idea. amazing. he's actually got a vision-thingy.
