Today in Meaningless Milestones: Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up just notched its billionth view on YouTube.
Personally, I’d call that definitive proof that a billion people can definitely be wrong. Perhaps you see it differently. My good friend and great Sonic Reducers cohost Eric Alper certainly does.

Sonic Reducers: One topic. Two music nerds. Five minutes. Everything you need to know.
