Is Blogging a public or private action ?

I'm sure it states explicitly in the eBlogger website that I used in order to create this weblog, but I am wondering to what extent this activity is considered a public action. Personally, I feel that this blog is being composed in a dream-space inhabited by myself only. However, judging by the comments that I sometimes find appended to my posts, obviously it is being viewed by the public and I ought to be more conscious of crediting a source when necessary. It's too bad my commentators cannot supply the citations themselves. This blog is art, my dear readers, comprised of your pitiful observance of my ambitions. Please note that I have added the AP writer's name as the source of my previous post, lest I be found guilty of infringing on copyright law. Even though the internet is a social space that appears to prize anonymity, a space which has abounds with political death threats, where slanderous vicious talk becomes the prime mode of discourse, where downloading and sharing files becomes a prime mover for technology itself - I must be wary and must always recall my reader to the knowledge that this blog is for entertainment purposes only. -- posted by Andrew B.

Goodbye Jerry Radio

THIS STATION IS DEVOTED TO MY LOVE FOR JERRY GARCIA AND HIS MUSIC, ALTHOUGH THIS STATION IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE GRATEFUL DEAD. FOR THE DEAD YOU HAVE TO GO TO MY "BILL GRAHAM" RADIO STATION OR, ALTERNATIVELY, TO "DEAD FAN RADIO" OR "OTHER ONES RADIO" FOR WORK BY SOLO DEAD MUSICAL ADVENTURES. "GOODBYE JERRY" IS A STATION IN DEEP MOURNING FOR THE LOSS OF A GREAT MUSICIAN AND THE SONGS WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN ELGAIC FEEL AND A TONE OF CONSOLATION. THIS STATION WAS FORMERLY DEVOTED TO THE MUSIC OF BONNIE RAITT, WHO SERVED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS EXERCISE AS THE FEMALE COUNTERPART TO JERRY GARCIA. HER STUFF IS USUALLY TOUCHING AND SAD AND THEREFORE WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THIS STATION FOR A TIME, BUT I FEEL HER STATUS AS AN ARTIST SEED LIMITED JERRY'S INFLUENCE TOO MUCH. A MUCH BETTER CHOICE WAS DAVID GRISMAN, WHOSE GIVES THIS STATION A BLUEGRASS BEND THE WAY JERRY WOULD HAVE WANTED IT. MAYBE I SHOULD ADD ANOTHER MUSICAL GROUP, LIKE OLD AND IN THE WAY OR NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE. I LATER ADDED TONY RICE AND VASSAR CLEMENTS AS ARTIST SEEDS. https://www.pandora.com/station/play/207755737155807406

"Double-Wide" Radio

I attended Wake Forest University from the Fall of 1995 to the Spring of 1997 and ten years later I created the Double Wide radio station to reflect the character of the music that was current when I lived in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I first created this station in 2007 and I initially included the artist seeds Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews, Ben Harper as well as a few others. When I returned to this station in 2015 I deleted Josh Rouse and the String Cheese Incident so that the songs featured here would reflect the kind of music that was popular at the time. This is what I find most exciting about Pandora, even though they the CEO of Rhapsody called it a "passive music-listening experience" today on the Fox Business Network. I could not disagree more ! Pandora has allowed me to create stations such as this one which has a unique flavor, a musical palette consisting of four interesting artists that I did not know a whole lot about prior to the dawn of online streaming. It's also notable that I do not collect these artist's recordings, as I find their song hard to distinguish apart from each other (June 2nd, 2015). https://www.pandora.com/station/play/231650414044948654
