A Light On Joe Sumner’s Interview

December 9, 2015

This might be a bit shocking or odd for some people that the famous musician Joe Sumner is not comfortable with his family name. He is a well-known person who has a very good fan base and has traveled around the world for more than three decades. He is also the fiction planes bass player, songwriter or lyricist. Many might think that a child having issues with the father is very natural. This man has a very good musical knowledge, and even the latest CD from the fiction plane is completely wrapped with the smart lyrics and killer tunes that cannot be ignored easily. The tight transitions and the attractive hooks are the added advantages of his music. Some of the highlights of the interesting answers provided by Joe in his recent interviews are given below.

When he was asked about the long time gaps between the records, he replied that it has been around eight years since he released an album in the US. He told that they are quite famous in Europe, so they hired a European manager and all was going well till a French record label started to do some weird stuff for money. They stated that the label was no more after they completed the entire record. Then, they had to meet Roadrunner a good label in Europe who concentrates on the hard rock music. And, Joe is a person who does not believe in the label that uses a particular genre of music alone. Finally, they have found a way to reach the US.

When the question was posed about the song, he added that this song will urge people to stay what they are and do not care about the other people’s idea about your life. This song has a lot of magic hidden it. He told that after the failure of the record that was mentioned earlier he moved to LA had four kids and this kept him busy. Later, everything started to fall in the right place again. A new guy who loved the band very much made this miracle happen again by bringing the band together. He asked to create a demo and gave 500 bucks.

Thom Yorke, the famous frontman of the Radiohead, has accused that the YouTube is stealing that art like the Nazis did at the time of WWII. They are accusing the same with the parent company Google too. He told this to a reputed Italian newspaper named La Repubblica. He added that it was just like the other countries even the English who were stealing the other countries riches and art at the time of war. There is no difference between both the acts. He also urged people to stop using YouTube and start finding the music through the online music shops.

He highlighted that YouTube is putting advertisements before or in-between the musicals or videos that are broadcasted by them, and there is no money or a very small amount of money paid to the owner of the particular video. Even though there are apps that will allow the viewers to skip the advertisements, YouTube makes a great deal of money through this method. In fact, the YouTube does is fine with all these type of activities but they have told that using the apps like adblockers is not a good practice. Yorke has also told that the YouTube people do not find it odd that they are making money by putting commercials before the video content and making loads of money without paying the share to the artists in the video. But they oppose using the apps that allow people to skip commercials.

This does not make any point. It clearly shows that the YouTube is not ready to accept the activity in which there is no profit for the company. When Yorke was questioned about the ways through which the musicians can gain profits he replied that he does not have any idea of it, but there are many people who are making a profit from the other people’s work without giving the right share for the creators. He also said that in this era many think that music and cinema are free, but the truth is the service providers are making a lot of money out of it.

Choice Plan Highly Complicated Says Veterans Affairs

On Wednesday, the Veterans Administration said that it wants to combine seven different programs that let veterans receive care from the private doctors. The VA was saying that the operations are too cumbersome as Congress has added several beneficiaries to the rolls.

Sloan Gibson, the Veterans Affairs Deputy Secretary, stated that veterans are confused by the various programs that have different eligibility rules, and this means that some of them are not making use of the programs that might help. He stated that the new plan might ensure that when a veteran wants care, the VA cannot offer the same in a timely fashion. They can also get the needed care from a private doctor.

The Senate Veterans Committee hearing stated that it is too complicated for the veterans, community providers, and VA staff. Gibson stated that the VA might need $421 million of one time infusion to start fine tuning the programs that exist. Also, the same might range between $400 million and $600 million by a year. The cost might spike as the VA’s New Choice Program becomes popular attracting new patients.

The plan might clarify the patient eligibility requirements, and streamline the co-pay and provider reimbursement and billing processes. It can also build a good network of the private doctors who work with the VA and share the medical records of the veterans with the department.

The senators question the cost with the Hawaii Democrat, Sen. Mazie Hirono stating that $421 million might be required to devise an implementation plan that may not be the best plan. Alaska Republican, Sen. Dan Sullivan stated that VA has to worry about more basic reforms in the state that lack a complete service VA hospital. A pilot program was promised to be set up for the Alaska veterans in order to see the private doctors, but the same has not made any development on the same.

Last year, Congress wrote that the Choice Program into the law as a way of aiding the veterans after the VA was claimed to shunt many of them onto the secret waiting lists. The veterans who signed up and lived far from the VA facility or those who waited too long to get an appointment can consult a private doctor without paying for it as the expense will be handled by the government.

The administration was initially resistant proposing shifting money from the program. However, it has been more accommodating in the recent weeks.
