Cool, a 73 yr old exposed to a lifetime of playing electronic rock music through very loud PA systems, pontificating about SQ.

Interesting quote from the article:

“When you hear real music, you get lost in it, he added, “because it sounds like God.” Spotify doesn’t sound like God. No one thinks that. It sounds like a rotating electric fan that someone bought at a hardware store.”

The only good Neil Young music is that covered by other artists.

For me most live music event in a any decent venue is better than listening to any recorded format. Unfortunately I can only go out a 2 or 3 times a month to hear live music. He is wrong that what ever he defines as "Spotify" sound like crap at least on a good system.

c'mon - you're killing me here...

one may not care for his music; however, he is one artist where the song and the performance are absolutely integral and inseparable.

he is also an amazing artist live... 18 min GCIS -- must have been a religious experience to have heard this one:

He is correct about quite a few things though.

The Pono was actually a very good player for a pretty darn reasonable price. I like the Pono store and actually purchased many digital albums from them. Apple bought their partner that operated the store that really keep the Pono a float. They proceeded to immediate close the store which was the nail in the coffin for the Pono.

The thing is the Pono and the Pono store were vastly better then anything Apple was offering. They used their money to hamper quality, not improve it... typical Apple. Neil was exactly correct on that particular one...

He is an amazing artist but when you pay upwards of $100 to hear his music and he spends an hour out of the 2 giving you a political sermon it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I was a huge fan of his early stuff but since Harvest Moon in 1992 there is nothing I like of his.
How he talked Daryl Hannah into marrying him is beyond comprehension for me.
