byrne and also mr. shelton. i think that part of, part of the sort of parade of horribles that have occurred in the past is precisely because they occurred in the past during a very different time before the civil rights act of '64, before the voting rights act, before, actually more importantly, redistricting one person and one vote cases that helped create seats for minorities have political power at the table. i just want would like your comment on whether or not those changes in the last 10, 20, 30 years are important developments in protection against the potential for uprooting, relocation of minority or disempowered communities. >> well, it's my view that it is. one can't say that in every community that minorities have the kind of political power that they have in san francisco. but i'm sure you know from your experience in local government there that elected officials in a city would, are -- understand the difficulties of taking anybody's home and particularly doing so in a way that has an ethnic or rac

doug byrnes made the best argument that the music company and record labels can possibly make.ire them but at end of the day it ain't going anywhere. guys like bruce springsteen with serious musicians with serious clout are entitled to terminate their rights under the copyright act. fact. matter is is not work for hire. i can mention artist after artist. toby keith. showed up with eight songs, four of which became number one records long before he worked for record company. production gets charged against royalties going forward. so, those taxes that, those royalties are paid. taxes are paid on them as right royalties. there is no employment taxes paid by record company. they better be real careful with the arguments they make. rick: more cowbell. >> i got a feeling for it. rick: kenny rogers "the gambler.". police's rocksian. b-52. rock lobster. these are songs written in 1978 becoming eligible. the artists have to write letters to reclaim the rights to them. if they don't they lose out on this what does it mean, doug for music fans, for everybody out there who would to be abl

. >> arwa, i also want to bring in tom byrnes, spent a lot of time there.ou think there's a good chance gadhafi may have been at the hotel where the journalists were held. why do you think that? >> well, first of all, let's say something clearly here about gadhafi. we're dealing with a man who is delusional, who has been in the estimate of a number of people who have met him in the last 20 years, bordering on the edge of insanity. i personally was kicked out of libya for using the word wacko describing his behavior. so trying to project what he might do or where he may be is extremely difficult. the best we can say, is this is an extremely quirky character who might do anything. but if you ask me to bet, we know now that he's very unlikely to be in the rixos. that was unlikely after the last guards keeping those journalists there in place and handed over their weapons. that makes it highly unlikely that he would be in any subterranean complex there, close to the family's ties aren't at that hotel. his son was actually the one who caused that hotel to be bui
