Unsure About Banning Facebook Personalized Ads

6:15 a.m. (c)

I'm not sure about banning Facebook personalized ads. I'm not sure about it. They're fined $100,000 for it. I think that any business, when number one, everyone wants to take a piece of out of you. As that's capitalism, you have an economic signal, that you are market leader, so people try to copy, drawn in by the profit motive, to mess with you, shake you down, try to enter.

Bad Names, Entertainment and Lehan as a Character

9:00 a.m.

I think Udesh, Upali's son, was the one who told me about Sound of Silence being about JFK

I knew those people for a long time

Thilanga's all about how he's known, he's got a name

But what he can't seem to figure out is it's a bad name

Osama didn't go around saying he's Osama bin Laden

Muammar Gaddafi hid in some sewer like Saddam

In my case, I am seen as an entertainer, I write entertainment

If Lehan, the character was a goody goody like Glinda

None of this would ever work

It wouldn't be cool

This is me, this is who I am, this is my story
