John Mellencamp is not an iPod fan
If you happen to believe John Mellencamp, the Internet is the equivalent of the A-Bomb.
"I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb," he said last week at the Grammy Museum, as reported by Canada's The Globe and Mail. "It's destroyed the music business. It's going to destroy the movie business."
Oh, and that little doohickey called the iPod that happens to be all the rage? He listened to one of the remastered Beatles tracks on CD, then he listened to the same song on an iPod.
"You could barely even recognize it as the same song. You could tell it was those guys singing, but the warmth and quality of what the artist intended for us to hear was so vastly different," he lamented.
And, Mellencamp is quite sure that rock and roll will go the way of the dodo, since no one will listen to it any longer. It's not like there's a store where people could easily buy his entire music catalog, along with other rock and roll gems.
