HOW THE NET WAS WON
The internet has always reminded me of the wild west. In '93 I wrote a song called "Computer Cowboy" in which I remarked upon the frontier like aspect of the web. The lawless atmosphere of the old west created an enviroment in which extra-legal business could thrive, much like we have on the web with pornography. Eventually, as in the old west, this period will come to a close, and then it will be romaticized. So remember you media moguls, you are creating the legends of tomorrow.
