My Two Cents

Remember the game "Expressions" that I blogged about? Well, here’s your newest scenario: "You’re about to be interviewed on national television by a reporter who thinks you’re an expert on the Internet music business, when you’re really just the expert’s ride home—go!”

Yes, this really did happen. In the same sitting that I saw this video link on one of my favorite news feeds, I read about the same situation on a friend’s blog (props to wt).

With the seconds ticking down to a studio discussion about a court case involving Apple Computer and The Beatles' record label, a floor manager had run to reception and grabbed the man, thinking he was Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net, a specialist internet publication.

Actually, he was a minicab driver who had been waiting to drive Mr. Kewney home.

Baffled, but compliant, the driver was fitted with a microphone and allowed himself to be marched in to the studio.

Kudos to the cabbie for taking Expressions to the next level!
