Earlier today I'm out checking the sites and discover a link to a Sun Online story where Elton John wants to shut down the Internet.
Sir Elton, you are completely and totally insane, and out of touch with today's music community.
Today I can go to any number of social sites and come across entries by any number of local, regional , and headline acts and communicate with them (or a credible agent) and listen to new music, chat, collaborate, interact on a number of levels.
Before I became a regular Internet user, I didn't collaborate with anyone. I'm a family guy, but I do have a passion for the guitar. Thanks to the 'Net, I've met and collaborated on a number of projects.
I've talked with other users of my favorite studio toy, Reason 3.0 from Propellerheads . Right now, I'm downloading the latest beta for Reason 4.0, and I couldn't do that without the Internet.
Sir Elton admits in his article that he is a complete technophobe, I humbly submit that if he were to take the time and work with someone who could get him a little more comfortable, he'd understand a little better the advantages that the Internet affords most of us.
