Update: the video below was removed from YouTube today due to a spat over one of the still images used in this video which was lifted without permission from a photographer’s work on Flickr. People really must behave. I found Scoble’s comments on this somewhat annoying – Steal my Work, please! Who is he, Lenny Bruce? Anyway, if I got that 60s reference right, I’m trying to say that work with a copyright on it is just that. If it’s creative commons, peachy-keen – do with it what you will. But please respect others rights to ask folks to compensate them or to simply control their own distribution. It’s the right thing to do.

Hat tip to my friend Taylor Davis who posted this yesterday. Damn near priceless. I always liked that Billy Joel song. And speaking of rock trivia, you should see how you fare with the ‘Almost-Impossible Rock and Roll Quiz’ from Rolling Stone. I scored 30. Hat-tip to my buddy Chad Dickerson on finding that one.
