Copied, verbatim, from jwz’s livejournal:

A talk given at the Directors Guild of America. He says some interesting things about the history of mass media, dead people, the music industry, and then goes totally gonzo at the end: keep reading until you get to the part where he starts talking about the ubiquitous-computing vaseline and the dog heads.

It’s a fine day when you read something like that. It’s even better that it’s a link to William Gibson.
