guitar hero

Cribbing a bit from my buddy Adam, whose staying in our basement this week (and getting better and better at Guitar Hero), here is the prayer that Donald Miller author of Blue Like Jazz prayed at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night.

• A Bertelsmann supervisory board meeting is meeting to decide what to do with the company's half of the Sony BMG joint venture. A decision is expected by the end of the month. (Billboard.biz)
