Best New York Song?
From Bill Simmons:
Speaking of songs, I spent the past few days in New York City and decided that Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" was one of the five most brilliant songs ever made. It's like Jay made the decision: "It's 2009 … I've made enough money, I've cemented my legacy, I married Beyonce … really, I guess the only thing left would be to supplant Sinatra with the No. 1 New York-centric go-to song that (A) goes through someone's head every time they walk around Manhattan, and (B) gets played before and after every New York sporting event for the next 25 years, and if that's not enough, becomes a mortal lock to get played at Manhattan clubs once an hour for the rest of eternity. Tough task, but I think I can pull it off. I'm Jay-Z."

I told Jack you had a music feed, and he said he visited it and it sucks. I then told him you've followed his feed and also feel that his sucks - to which he was visibly offended. He then thought your assessment was harsh, and I said "how is it any different from what you just said, verbatim?" and he agreed. But he was still broken.
