Canada's oil wealth strategy questioned
"But in Norway and in Saudi Arabia ... authorities have instead focused on corralling the foreign exchange earned in the sales of energy, and investing it outside their borders ...creating an income stream for future generations." [Link]
making available isn't distribution
While the "making available" issue can be tedious, technical, and contradictory (different court rulings have gone different ways), the brief actually does a fine job of making the debate accessible. [Link]

1. Why are so many jazz musicians ‘legendary’? How hard is it for a jazz musician to become ‘legendary’? Does ‘legendary’ just mean ‘Oh - I’ve heard of him before!’
2. When are going to do a David Bowie mix tape? Huh? Unca Hugh? Huh? When?

1. Hmm. well, compared with, say rock and roll, there are far fewer prominent jazz musicians, not much more than a handful. I don’t think too many of them got too rich, so maybe they can be legendary instead. but actually I think it’s very hard for jazz musicians to be legendary - for instance, monk is legendary, but what about the rest of the guys playing with him.
2. for some bowie, see:

A list (however brief) of eccentric pianists without Erik Satie is woefully incomplete.

to be fair, it’s a list of *youtube videos* of eccentric pianists. my cursory search indicates that while there are people playing satie on youtube, there are no vids of him performing.
