Everything that is rancid and corrupt with modern journalism: The Nutshell
Time's "correction" reads like satire.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-11-27]

  • The More Things Change

    Joan Baez wrote a song in the 1970's called "Time Rag" about being interviewed by a Time Mag reporter. Here he's asking her about Dylan, and then the bridge:

    Then suddenly it stopped and he started to lobby

    Said, Tell me some inside stuff about Bobby

    Bobby who? I smiled and said

    And the TIME man's face was laced with red

    I know you guys used to know each other

    I know you refer to him as being your brother

    And I know that you know where he's coming from

    I said, You know alot for being so Goddamned dumb

    And I said, TIME, TIME mag, mag

    You got me on the rag, rag

    Take your insults about the queen

    And shove them up your royal Timese machine

    ------

    Nothing's changed.
