As a creator of music, he's got a vested interested in protecting his property and livelihood. But Byrne's also got his own online music stream, where he shares and popularizes the music he likes with people who are interested, and stood to get totally jacked by any retroactive RIAA agreement. It's nice to see an artist who doesn't become cemented, not just in the genre of his heyday, but in its technology and medium as well. He seems like a very respectable artist. </p> http://gothamist.com/2008/05/06/david_byrne_pla.php#comment-1356300 http://gothamist.com/2008/05/06/david_byrne_pla.php#comment-1356300 Comments Tue, 06 May 2008 18:10:25 -0500 <p>No matter his latest innovation, it's the "same as it ever was.
