So some dude in Michigan downloaded the 1 billionth song from iTunes. I don't know what is more unfair, the fact that he won a new 20-inch iMac, 10 60GB iPods (for friends and family, I guess), a $10,000 iTunes gift card and a scholarship established carrying his name at Julliard ... or the fact that he downloaded a Coldplay song ("Speed of Sound" – ironic because the name evokes the digital age of fast MP3 downloads). Coldplay? Really? I guess it could have been something more embarrassing (maybe). I'm sure the booty he won will overcome the sting of his friends ribbing him for having such awful taste in music.
How on earth, by the way, do you spend a $10,000 iTunes gift card? I've still got about 30 bucks left over from Christmas.
itunes is okay if you want a song, but they code it so you can't share it, and that kills my joy.
Is there an IPOD or MP3 player out there that would hold $10,000 worth of music?
You could do it like a chain letter. You spend a couple hundred and then send it to someone else, who does the same, and then they send it to someone else and it goes all over the world.
And then, because music is like the universal peace mechanism, all the warring nations will put down their weapons and stand arm in arm and sing (but not Coldplay) and world peace will be a reality and not my own personal pipe dream.
Oh, the power you hold, Tex.
Wow, I think Tammy is really onto something.
