Talking Truth to Power
“Steinem welcomed them all—the rich, the celebrities, the climbers for the cause. She was a radical but, consciously, never an outsider. She enjoyed the world where she plied her trade as an entrepreneur of social change, and, with her mouth spray at hand, she had long since mastered the subterfuges of talking truth to power. You could call it consciousness-raising—on a wider canvas.” The New Yorker profiles Gloria Steinem in anticipation of her latest release, My Life on the Road.

I heard an NPR report about this yesterday and they called Amazon the first site to offer cloud-based music. Does nobody remember the halcyon days of Lala.com? Oh, Lala, you were good to me…until the day you sold to Steve Jobs and he shut you down and I lost all those web songs I’d bought. Not that I’m bitter. No, not at all.
