Just reading down the comments on Kara's retweet. Really amazing how tired and cliched the pro-tech sentiments. Hilarious shit like "Record labels should have licensed Napster." (They tried see Snocap, p2p didn't want to pay) "You make more money on live shows." (We don't)…1/x https://t.co/Mx13uAasKz

I know we've all known Spotify is a garbage pile since it took off, but man, this sucks. It's David fucking Crosby. David Crosby should be set for life. It's time to burn this all down https://t.co/vW0ucxRAyj pic.twitter.com/IkGlztHsUv

So @georgejohnson is the most important songwriter you've never heard of. Gets his due in this Billboard article. Sort of. The writer tries to portray him as a kook by noting supposedly fringe beliefs that are demonstrable truths. Example see screenshot. https://t.co/LgnDVLAuNm pic.twitter.com/3lqhe003sG
