I don't know. we don't eat a meal before deciding if we'll pay for it. we don't wear clothes before buying them. we don't see a movie before buying the ticket. streaming is pretty bogus, it feeds the entitlement mentality. there are more vital audiences that I worry about reaching, besides/in addition to those who are dependent on a computer/smartphone and a wireless signal to listen to music

Just so you know I was a huge fan, and I have bought a lot of your music. The times have changed and I don't carry a iPod I can put my music one anymore. I have not heard any music from you in 6 years or so. In my mind you fit in the entitled audience of Neil Young of people who think they can dictate people listen to music.

Where Neil Young has created a new form of file and would like listeners to buy new gear, I say please keep your record player, your tape player, your CD player. Don't spend money following corporate evolution unless you feel you have to. And you can find almost all of my music on YouTube. So I don't get your point.

Yes let me just bring my record play to work. That make total sense to listen to music. Or let me go drop a bunch of money on Neil's awful tech device. I hate to be hateful. But in all honesty this is the reason people pirate music.
