I remembered Time's Man of the Year selection for 2006 when I saw this. I thought then when I saw it, that it was dumb, stupid, a waste of space when 2006 brought along much more great people who were more deserving of the award.

Yes, "YOU" were Time's Man of the Year 2006.

"And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, TIME's Person of the Year for 2006 is you. "

Now I finally understood the significance of that choice. I dare say it's one heck of a good choice.

It's precisely because of the power of the Internet that's why we even have such a collaboration. Where even in the poorest of regions, in the most desolate of areas, someone with talent, with passion and skill can make his/her way to Carnegie Hall.

It's less of the music than the power of the Internet, really. To be honest his work isn't that great, but I like the whole idea of it, that people around the world perform a work online.

Now, music truly has no borders.
