Timothy White Saluted by Congress
Saw this in Billboard, thought some might be interested...
BY BILL HOLLAND
WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Billboard editor in chief Timothy White, who died June 27, is being saluted in Congress for his role in the music industry.
Rep. John Coyers, D-Mich., took to the floor of the House of Representatives July 25 to herald White. "His life is an example of how one man can make a difference," Conyers said in a statement to be entered into The Congressional Record. "He had a passion for what's right and was not afraid to pursue that goal, whether it was to force a change in the music business or through the hearing rooms in Congess. He also never missed an opportunity to champion a forgotten or still-undiscovered artist."
Conyers is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, which is charged with overseeing copyright matters. He was joined in the salute by Rep. Karen McCarthy, D-Mo. More members of the House and Senate plan to add their tributes to White to The Congressional Record.
