I did a one-hour Gillmor Daily yesterday with Steve Gillmor.  ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Okay, Steve Gillmor is going to like this chain of logic. John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. No argument, it was true, they were. Well, even though the vast majority of people have never heard of Steve or myself, we're more influential than John Lennon or Bob Dylan ever were. We're media hackers. It's true they led a media revolution in the 1960s. But we're hacking media in the 21st century. How do I know? Well who's the biggest podcaster? (Okay for sure you think I'm going to say Dave Winer, but I'm not.) The biggest podcaster is, sad to say Rush Limbaugh, and he knows it too. But that's only temporary. Limbaugh is a radio star. We're going to have our own stars. Limbaugh is good for this medium, much better than the other guy who every one thinks is number one. Rush is a star, the other guy is a DJ. But Limbaugh ain't Dylan or Lennon or even Jesus.  ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)

Dan Gillmor on Apple's cold war with online journalists and bloggers. It's kind of weird that Apple promotes podcasting, but not surprising that they went with the corporate approach. They like the Wall Street Journal, but pretend News.Com doesn't exist? Hmmm. Will their directory include podcasts like Morning Coffee Notes? If so, Jobs may be surprised to find out that we're not all like the fictional Wayne's World. Sure we're lovable, but we love the First Amendment. Schuh-winnnng! ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Wayne: "What I'd really like is to do Wayne's World for a living. It might happen, tsshyeah, right, and monkeys might fly out of my butt."  ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Another feature waiting to ship. It's been in the pipe for over ten years.  ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
