Re: Morrissey's comments about iPods -- I know he's not some twit living in a straw hut, but given his previous Luddite tendencies, it always gives me a start to hear him comment about things like e-mail and DVD players.
We may have our iPods and illegal mp3 files, but duh Man's got the influence to make people get up and go to a physical place to listen and observe his music collection on exhibition...and I'm very glad about that!
