Agreed. Pandora is radio. This radio generates playlists based on genre or artist. If I had that when I was in high school….
her distinction between Pandora and say Spotify… is Pandora is actively choosing the songs for you and only allowing limited skips. You can’t tell it “I want to hear Elton John’s Yellow Brick Road” and have it start playing, in which case it’s just acting as a surrogate for renting the songs from a library, hence the higher royalty rate.
She doesn’t go into the more interesting question as it wasn’t an issue in front of her. If Pandora is “Radio”, why should Pandora not get the Radio industry protection of having to pay no royalties to the performers. Why do they have to pay a “radio tax”?
Its the legacy Razzles question.
Lucky for me, I don’t ever want to hear “Yellow Brick Road” or anything else by queen Elton. I have always detested his music and his popularity confounds me.
I liked Elton John’s singing much more after watching this short 1978 clip. I think you will too

No more Leonard Nemoy!

So William Shatner opened Pandora’s box. Quaint 😉
Shatner is right up there with classic Leona Anderson.

Now I understand why Joey talked so much about having problems with rats in his apartment in Harlem. On some things, I didn’t care for his show – but on the whole, I did enjoy it. I like people who refuse to conform to what people demand of them.
Not your Joey kind of Reynolds… a different rat

My brain can still hear the late Don Wade from WLS-AM in Chicago talking about Mel Reynold’s latest stupid idea. He was a frequent topic.
You can never go home again.
My brain can still her the late Don Wade from WFIL-AM 560.
I’m not positive, but I don’t think Shatner cares much about boxes.
What about pools?

Maybe I was thinking of Sulu.
That was tacky.
