In their never ending struggle to sink so low that they have to look up to see a politician, the music industry has begun 'honoring' the second half of it's obligation to the anti-trust lawsuit with free CD content for schools.
Imagine the glee of the cash strapped U.S. education system when librarians began unpacking their 114 copies of Meredith Brooks' "Blurring the Edges," which includes the Grammy-nominated song, "Bitch."
Too busy organizing their new digs, officials at Seattle Public Library didn't open theirs until yesterday, said library spokeswoman Andra Addison. Included in the shipment: 84 copies of an album by rhythm-and-blues artist Samantha Mumba, 69 by Lenny Kravitz and 48 copies of "Scary Sounds for Halloween" from Martha Stewart. With 23 branches, the Seattle Public Library received many more copies of albums it can use, but officials don't know what they will do with the extras. The King County Regional Library System already has decided to try to hock its gifts, all 7,700 of them. "We didn't feel they were up to snuff to be added to our collection," said library spokeswoman Julie Wallace. King County donated the CDs to its fund-raising foundation to sell. Wallace said she is not sure what kind of music the library system got, but heard "there were a lot of Gregorian Chants." |
The Attorney General's Office must be furious, they announced that a windfall of music was coming to public schools and libraries from last year's 143 million dollar anti-trust settlement. Now, all our schools get is a load of raunch that they must dispose of. Well, that's not entirely accurate, it isn't all raunchy, Yanni anyone?
