He stands outside concerts and tell people with bad taste in music that they have bad taste in music, and the steps necessary to change that.

In this example he puts a gold medal on a fan accepting the medal on Nickelback's behalf, and says:
For their willingness to take an active role in creating a sound that perfectly fits the uncreative sound in today's radio. For their ability to never progress, thereby never challenging the audience and giving the dumbed down masses pseudo-art that they can easily grasp and digest. For being exactly what mega-corporation Clear Channel needs, a cliche homogonized hit sound that will receieve acceptance in all markets of the country. To Nickelback, the perfect band for today's corporate dominated climate, goes the gold medal of the 2004 Bad Music Olympics. Congratulations.

Um, WHAT?

Hilary B. Rosen was the chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America from 1998 to 2003. Under Rosen, the RIAA advanced a legal and PR campaign to limit the swapping of copyrighted music....

On January 22, 2003, Rosen announced that she will resign as head of the RIAA at the end of 2003, officially in order to spend more time with her partner, Elizabeth Birch, and the couple's twin daughters.

On November 30, 2004, Rosen became the interim director for the Human Rights Campaign, a leading GLBT lobbyist organization, following the ouster of Cheryl Jacques. Hilary's partner, Elizabeth, was the executive director of HRC for eight years prior to Jacques' assumption of the post.

So, in review:

The RIAA Chief Executive is "partners" with the Director of HRC.

Director of HRC steps down after 8 years, another woman replaces her, but is later ousted. RIAA Chief Executive leaves her job.

former RIAA Chief Executive takes position as Director of HRC.



She goes from an organization that sues its customers and screws the artists to an organization that protects the rights of gays and lesbians.

I'll have to think on this.
