Now in its fourth year, the FMC Policy Summit is a forum for musicians, lawyers, academics, policymakers and music industry executives to come together to discuss and debate some of the most contentious issues surrounding digital technology, artists’ rights and the current state of the music industry.

 Salon Books | Meaty, Beaty, Big And Bouncy: The Who
And essentially, it is: Perry, a professional musician himself (he was the guitarist for the influential late '70s band the Only Ones, and he toured the states with the Who in 1980) has the rare ability to explain songs in technical terms without draining the magic out of them.
But what makes "Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy" a lovely book instead of merely a solid one is the way Perry uses the album in question as a backdrop for two separate but intertwining histories: the Who's and his own.
Perry, who was a young teenager in the mid-'60s, was lucky enough to have seen the Who's early, magnificent shows, and he's not afraid to admit that he plumb fell in love.

 Amazon.ca: Electric Ladyland: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Perry calls Electric Ladyland the record in which Hendrix "reached his full artistic maturity." It was also the last album he made with manager Chas Chandler and the bassist and drummer who with him had constituted the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
As an example, Perry states that Jimi's first manager Chas Chandler "failed to appreciate the depth and ingrained nature of American racism" in regards to searching out all of Jimi's previously existing recording contracts.
But I'd certainly recommend Musician over this book because Electric Ladyland is covered extremely well in Musician, as are all aspects of Jimi's life.

I don't know that John Perry will be in the next book, actually, but at least one of the familiar characters will show up, and should there be future books beyond that, there's a fine chance John Perry will be back in some way or another.
Posted by: John Scalzi at February 12, 2005 09:20 PM This is one of the few times I've put something in text where an author can read it, but I just wanted to say I liked Old Man's War and can't wait for the sequel on the way.
Posted by: John Scalzi at May 15, 2006 08:55 PM I should have kept it, but an article in a local newspaper last year, showing average annual salaries for different educational levels, showed that a G.E.D. was significantly better than nothing, but a high school diploma was better yet.

 John Perry Barlow: Napster.com and the Death of the Music Industry
The music industry is generally despised by both music-lovers and musicians, to whom they've been returning about five percent of the retail value of their works.
Further, most musicians agree with Public Enemy rapster Chuck D, who recently said that the recording industry's legal assertion that they own the music they distribute is as senseless as would be a claim by Federal Express that they should own the contents of the packages they ship.
The model that the consumers pay for music is a relatively new invention, in general musicians have relied on money from people who have lots of money to spare, and want to put on a good show for the public (lords in the past, entertainment companies today).

The name Perry was carried to England in the enormous movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066.

It is hard to say exactly when man first came to the lands that were to become the British Isles, but it can be said with certainty that Paleolithic tribes were flourishing there by 8000 BC.
