Great post Steve… it’s funny that we were thinking Jimi about the same time, his alien intelligence equating to new language and new understanding. Gerrish and I riffed on it for a while in terms of track, proving once again the interconnected nature of it all and how a foundation in advanced languages can sometimes lead to new paradigms.

The anger and reluctance to change finds itself in all cultures and businesses at some point, the true test of whether or not a group can change shape, continuing to grow. So we end up with devices that communicate to a network where information is stored, both ours and others, known and unknown. Take it from somebody who has spend over 20 years traveling with way too much media in way too many formats that the idea of being able to just access it from the network from a mobile device is very appealing.

So what will the middlemen of music do? Will they morph? Will they become PR firms, e-commerce sites for individual artists, old time A&R ears with the ability to help artists get past the filters and become viral? Established artists who have a following can survive on a smaller level, taking a bigger piece of the pie than before, sometimes making more than when they were in a “big” contract. The new artists will have to live on their merits as artists, touch ears and hearts unless they jump into the grist mill of Idol worship and watch their careers half-life drop into mere moments.

It’s still all about the song.

Bandwidth is currency … Now address proper attribution & an appropriate balance between privacy & piracy (however we as a society can define these terms/concepts?)

Steve, this post is phenomenal. What a great metaphor, and how craftily you continue through the entire post. Wish I remember—now I do, because I Googled it–the word for such an extended metaphor: it’s a conceit! This is such an awesome piece of writing that the insight comes alive.

First of all–love the Jimmy Hendrix reference, and listening to “Wind Cries Mary” while reading became a bit surreal. Good stuff all around.

Also it is appropriate to use streaming video in this article because streaming is one of the best use cases for Cloud Computing. I recently attended PubCon as a speaker on this topic and the demand for discussion has been great. I posted a related Blob on our company site that may interest the reader:

Be well,
