82. It doesn't matter if he wrote the lyrics to "We Are The World." or hangs out
with Nelson Mandela on his days off.

There's some sort of "drama" behind this article. As I've alluded to in other posts, perhaps he's playing a "little shithead" game, jerking the chains of us geezers who lived through those dreadful stereotypical days, and who remember them without fondness, so he can point and laugh at how "mired in the past" we are, or something. Or maybe he's just really stupid and clueless, and so's his editor.

Let me put it this way--you don't put the word Shuffle up front when you're talking about a black man. Why couldn't he have said iPod NANO? It's like using the word "booty" to talk about a woman with a generous behind, and then insisting, disingenuously, that you were talking about pirate loot, not her junk in the trunk.


It's just a crappy bit of work, is what it is. And his editor/s should be shot.
