All apologies

While you won't be seeing me apologizing to the world for re-electing George W. Bush, I would like to take this moment to send a global apology on behalf of Americans with actual musical taste. To everyone who watched the American Music Awards and thought it represented what the United States has to offer the world, I am sorry.

Perhaps not coincidentally, a better representation of the potential of American music will occur Monday night with the Shortlist of Music Prize Concert, also in L.A. Stay tuned.
