I love him for when he tried to act like he didn’t know who Heidi Klum was and his response was “Claudia and I have never heard of her”. Whenever I see Claudia Schiffer on TV shilling that cheap ass shampoo - I always think of this stupid quote.

Amen!

For me, as a big music fan, I utilize all formats of music for different reasons. I have hard copies (CD, vinyl) for home, I have iTunes for commuting and exercising and I use streaming at work. Streaming is great when you can't get a strong radio signal and aren't at a place where it is easy to access your…

Agreed. It sounds to me like it's more about transparency to the artists. And getting a bigger cut by knocking out the middleman. But for the consumer, there is not anything here that is any better than Spotify. I can discover new artists on Spotify or Pandora.

It's almost like she is self conscious or afraid to put her opinions out about something she values. She has some great writing when it's a subject that she is slightly distanced from.

Self-five for both of us!!

you are lucky then!!

my world too!
