I'm writing this with the U.S. Senate gun-control filibuster playing in the background on C-SPAN 2. I want to see an assault-weapons ban and expanded background checks happen. It's OK if you don't; we can disagree on the solutions as long as we agree there's a problem and that we have to do something about it. At this moment, SEN. TAMMY BALDWIN of WISCONSIN is showing photos of the victims of the PULSE nightclub massacre and talking about each of them. It's a powerful gesture. But if it leads to actual legislation, I'm not going to give the credit to her and her colleagues, who could have and should have done something many years and many massacres ago. I'm going to give my thanks and my love to 49 mostly LGBT men and woman who lost their lives while dancing to LATIN pop music. Forty-nine people expressing their joy and freedom and identity by moving with abandon to the sounds of reggaeton, bachata, merengue and reggae spun by a nightclub DJ. Just another AMERICAN SATURDAY night. Their stories, and the way their friends and country rallied around them with thoughts, prayers, love and action, have somehow broken through to lawmakers who have failed to act so many times before. These are the faces our lawmakers have looked directly into and realized: This is us, this is all of us. If they are moved to true action, it may be the most bittersweet obituary the 49 could have hoped for... Perhaps because he's both an artist and an executive of a rival company, TRENT REZNOR's swipe at YOUTUBE in a BILLBOARD interview published TUESDAY struck a particular nerve as it went viral over the next 24 hours. The APPLE exec said the GOOGLE business is "built on the backs of free, stolen content," to which YOUTUBE said $3 billion blah blah blah, which is a figure it throws around a lot, and NIKKI SIXX took a separate swipe at YOUTUBE in which he complained about $1 per user per year blah blah blah, and YOUTUBE barked back at that with apples and oranges blah blah blah. The "apples and oranges" is an actual quote, YOUTUBE's way of saying it can't be compared to SPOTIFY. SIXX mentioned SPOTIFY favorably; REZNOR didn't mention it by name but did say "any free-tiered service is not fair." But move over, SPOTIFY. REZNOR vs. YOUTUBE may be the heavyweight fight we've been waiting for.
