The Today Programme ....
Hate President Bush ? Got a new record out ? The Today Programme can
meet all your UK publicity requirements - just ask Patti Smith.

Presenter (BBC Audio Player, 1.75 hours in) - "Ry Cooder, I've never
heard of you, but our editor listened to 'Bop Till You Drop' a lot
back in 1980. Would you like five minutes to abuse President Bush ?"

Cooder - "Why, thank you ... I don't know anyone who doesn't hate
George Bush ... two stolen elections ... America is a junk-food diner
and Bush is the head waiter ..."

Presenter - "Thank you very much"

The above may not be a verbatim transcript. But it 'illustrates a wider truth'.

The Today Programme ....
James Naughtie (RealAudio) - "Patti Smith, I've never heard of you,
but our editor listened to you a lot when he was off his face back in
1978. Would you like a couple of minutes to abuse President Bush ?"

Smith - "Why, thank you Jim ... in bed with the corporations ...
extreme right ... illegal war ..."

Naughtie - "Thank you very much"
