Not sure if he’s still ticked off from not being selected for this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but for some reason Jon Bon Jovi has decided to pin all what ails the music industry on Steve Jobs – accusing the Apple CEO of ‘killing the music business.’
Grasping at the nostalgia of rifling through albums at the local record store, Bon Jovi figures the rise of iTunes has taken away from the joy of discovering music. Last I checked the Bon Jovi catalog was still available on iTunes, so he can’t be that mad.
Bon Jovi tells The Sunday Times Magazine:
“Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it.”Via Bon Jovi Says Steve Jobs Is Killing The Music Business
