At this rate, Radiohead will win the music Pulitzer by 2045! If the awards still exist, that is. [Columbia Spectator]

    Just more proof the Jews control the media. I kid! I kid! Congratulations or whatever.

    Well, since the Pulitzers are awarded to American writers and artists, the Prize would have to change in much more than street-cred for the British band Radiohead to earn one.

    @MC: you’re forgetting the part of the future where america completely stops making any culture worth anything and the pulitzer committee has to open its ranks to the rest of the planet. it’s ok, i try to block it out of my mind too.
