the widely misunderstood chorus of “Achy Breaky Heart” portrays a hostage situation. “This man” does not refer to the speaker but to a bystander whose name we never learn. Some glosses on the text refer to this bystander as “Citizen X.” At any rate, he does not survive

The Internet Archive is the most prominent defense of our cultural history that companies are increasingly seeking to horde total control over. They don't want to cost anyone anything for open access to information, and losing this defender of those rights would be especially devastating now
📢 The Internet Archive needs your help.
At a time when information is being rewritten or erased online, a $700 million lawsuit from major record labels threatens to destroy the Wayback Machine.
Tell the labels to drop the 78s lawsuit.

There’s such an increase in distrust of tech companies, we now have to be more explicit about super obvious things that we would never do. Users expect the worst because they’ve been burned. So it goes.
