Jon Bon Jovi slams iTunes for 'killing' music

[pixelthis]

Browsing record stores was a special kind of experience, but so was waiting on SANTA.
There are certain things called "historical inevitable s", these thing are going to happen,
no use crying about whats past.
FOR INSTANCE, Davinci drew pictures of flying machines, but it wasn't until the
invention of the internal combustion engine that they could be built.
But after that, if the Wright bros didn't do it, someone else would have.
SAME WITH the atomic bomb. As soon as the first computer was built, analog recording
was doomed. There might be a few FREMMERS out there, holding on with their fingernails,
but gramophones are gone, so are eight tracks, and soon, CD's.
And in a few decades , if anybody bothers to think about it, no one will understand what
the fuss was about.
Buying records during the fifties/seventies was a special thing, and I will never forget it.
But, like experiences that other generations loved that are fading, its about over.
BON jOVI IS BEING both greedy and childish. FOR a long time the industry sold
discs that cost a few bucks to make for ten times the cost, sometimes.
This fueled an extravagant lifestyle. Recording artists, and their hangers on, lived
like kings while teachers starved. Losing all of the hooker/drug money might be
a main reason for Jovies rant.
IN ANY EVENT, the day of recorded media is passing, JOB'S was just smart enough,
with enough capital, to take advantage. Good for him.
BUT THE POINT is that if he didn't do it, somebody else would have.
He didnt even speed up the process, you can blame that on CD's that were
way overpriced for what they delivered.
