Music lovers will have one less place to discover new music if the worst comes to pass, and internet radio pioneer Pandora shuts down as threatened. And that would be a damn shame for me, as I've discovered a lot of wonderful new artists and songs through the service.

Look, there are plenty of legitimate reasons for firing Don Imus from his radio show. He hasn't said anything remotely funny or interesting since...well, ever. He mumbles like a mental patient. He's out of touch, irrelevant, and just generally lame. And his ratings suck, to boot. I'm not interested in debating whether or not his so-called joke about the Rutgers women's basketball team was offensive, racist, or both. I'm sure to a lot of people it was.
The bottom line is that although ... Read on, Daddy-O
