Re: "Close the internet" to save music
a buddy of mine worked at a university computer lab and would sometimes get the non-traditional (IE older) student asking him what time the internet closed. But I digress...

there's simply no excuse to be prattling on like this. He charges 40 bucks a user to post on a forum not unlike this one, he streams his concerts for a hefty fee, but still feels the need to whine sour grapes because the internet democratizes people's tastes away from the monolithic display cases featuring whatever handful of artists who sold their souls to satan at big box record stores. But what i think he's actually doing is admitting that if he had been recording his shit now instead of then, he might have remained a myspace page.
