Jonathan Mann is a genius. A beautiful, wonderful and very strange genius. Not only has this plucky fellow taken on the daunting task of posting a new homemade music video every day on his www.RockCookieBottom.com website — including a moving ditty on the meaning of Rock Cookie Bottom and a timely ode to Paul Krugman — but one of his latest works, posted above, solves the newspaper crisis, in the form of a musical that alludes to the demise of the Rocky Mountain News, among other publications.
