I wondered what had happened

I wondered what had happened to Rebecca Webb, so went to the Kink website. Not unlike a third world country, she had been "disappeared" - no mention of her, no blog; it's as though she never existed. (Of course, the analogy of a third world country and major american corporations isn't far off - fatten up the .0001 per cent at the top, and scraps to the masses.)

As I recall, she would not do the corporate plugs that pass for advertising (Dave Scott and his phone, anyone). Too bad that separation of commerce and news is pretty much trashed. I've also noticed Kink playing more "commercial" music - and a lot less of old Bonnie Raitt, Bruce(s) Springsteen or Cochburn, etc. And, a lot more advertising.

So, after twenty plus years, I'll be changing my clock radio to wake up to something different.

Good Luck, Rebecca - I would guess you will land smartly on your feet, and contribute to Portland in a wonderful new way.
