“Costas Now” Internet segment in video from

April 30th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

O’Day asked for it, so here it is. Watching it again … ugh … I really just don’t want to write about it because I’d go on for way too long. (See here, here, here and here for some great writing on it.)

I will say this: it’s clear Buzz doesn’t read blogs; he doesn’t understand them. So to have all that spite and anger built up about something you don’t know at all, it’s a bit much. And it’s a generational thing. It happens in music, art, film, fashion — the old guard can’t except the new. And they aren’t even willing to try. This is not a new specific conflict going on between bloggers and traditional writers, it’s a debate that’s been waged many times before. We must just all let it pass and keep on doing as we do. This shit is fun, no use having someone that doesn’t get it ruin that. (Also, it’s incredibly more complex than just old guard vs. new guard stuff. There is crossover in both arenas.)

BUT ANYWAY: here’s the intro, then the panel discussion. Enjoy. (Big thanks to AA as always for the vids.)
