Lots of good material arising from the debates online about some cycle lanes (who'd have guessed!). This time, it's a link to an excellent talk presented by an American visiting a University in Australia, on what disagreement and discussion are meant to be and what's happened instead.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
