A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

JUST BE WRONG. JUST STAND THERE IN YOUR WRONGNESS AND BE WRONG. AND GET USED TO IT: The good news is that the Library of Congress has added 25 new recordings to the National Recordings Registry, of "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" sound recordings, including Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come", The Velvet Underground and Nico, "We Shall Overcome" as performed by Pete Seeger at Carnegie Hall, "Be My Baby" and The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart.

Bill, however, sent over a link to a blogger, "Callimachus", whose post regarding the most recent addition to the list has finally reached the mark of uttering the dumbest thing that ever will be posted on the Internet:

Graceland. Paul Simon. (1986) Worst choice on the list. Big American fading folk star who's out of fresh ideas vampirizes the world music catalogue to stave off career death for another decade. Bonus points off for including Linda Ronstadt.

Let the pile-on begin. The full registry is here.
