Jon Bon Jovi slams iTunes for 'killing' music

[Ajani]

There will only be vinyl and music files in the future, in other words: perfection.

At home zone out listening: vinyl. Out about town theme songs: digital; I love it.

Cd's are irrelevant cause they have all the problems of vinyl, but with far less sonic quality.
DAC's of high quality and affordability is the last nail in the coffin.

The chart above is truth.

I use to work at Rhino Records Store in L.A. and we use to get so many music biz people come and trade in all their promos to me for cash for the weekend it was ridiculous. The music business hates the fact that they are not making copious amounts of "stupid" money anymore, like Hollywood still is. If they would all settle for a middle class life style with some traveling and their medical taken care of, they would not be whining so much.

Wow, I sound bitter. Not really, I just remember all the excess of the industry and think that some had too much (Bon Jovi) and some not enough (Moby Grape/Skip Spence).

Yep, I do think that while CD will fade away; Music Servers will continue to rise and Vinyl will hold its niche market indefinitely...


I really doubt the music industry will have to settle for a middle class lifestyle... More likely they'll have to accept moving from being filthy stinking rich to just being stinking rich or even just rich...

...or perhaps just filthy and stinking...
