An “eletracustic” audience with Brazil’s culture Minister

Speaking of Ministerial performances, Brazil’s culture minister was in London last night in a packed auditorium.

Entranced as I was by Gilberto Gil – who did a sublime cover of Lennon’s Imagine – I was plagued by thoughts of John Prescott doing high kicks over a mike stand, of Jacques Chirac covering some classic Bob Dylan numbers, or Charles Clarke doing a funky dance routine to an enthralled audience in Rio.

Wibbi if Europe also had one or two Ministers who were consummate artists with intense subtle energy? Also Ministers who understand why filesharing and the Creative Commons are such a good idea?

just found your post from blogdigger because it combines creative commons and filesharing.

So just to let you know that there is a luxembourgish initiative that combine Creative Commons Music distributed through BitTorrent and eMule/eDonkey
