Elton John Says Internet is Destroying Music

Posted by samzenpus on from the mtv-already-did-it dept.

Jared writes "Elton John says that the internet is destroying good music and "stopping people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff." He laments the way that the internet and the emerging industry of digital music has created a cold and impersonal world for artists to create new music in."

    And gay! And even married a woman? Not to mention the head-in-the-oven -- with windows wide open -- suicide (attempt)... Elton, Elton, Elton - you died with Blue Moves. Island Girl? Island Turd is more like it. All downhill from there. You're weird, but we like you anyway, and as much as we won't admit it, you're right. THe internet does suck a lot.

    After all, Elton John has been destroying music longer than anyone!

    The Music industry lived it's life like a candle in the wind...

    He's awful enough to write songs for Disney!

    The day John Lennon was shot was a great day. If it only happened 30 years earlier, the world would be a better place.
