Bygone Salon
February 18, 2005
Long before the army of online citizen journalists known as “bloggers,” there were online magazines. Namely, there was Salon.com. Ten years ago, when David Talbot started Salon, it was a brand new animal – a publication that had good writing and good thinking and existed only on the Internet. It seemed revolutionary not to mention a little implausible. But today, it is not only still going, but we hardly even consider it a fringe source. Maybe that’s why it was time for David Talbot to move on. Bob speaks with Talbot as he leaves his Salon. Artist: Bill Frisell, Track: Little Brother Bob, Album: Lookout For Hope, Label: ECM
