Neil Young sings to his apple

January 13, 2009 By

Stick this in your iPod and smoke it!

Famous rock and roll star Neil Young protests the quality of your iPhone (among other things) in a unique way.

Now try to replace THIS with a text blog. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Thanks to Salesforce.com’s CEO Marc Benioff for sending this to me.

    engrish is not my mother tongue. - I saw the video, heard the man singing, read the lyrics. I know the background that according to Neil Young Apple and others are mainly responsible for degrading (of) music, because of low sound quality MP3s … Got that.

    Exactly how do you make the connection from “plugging the far end of white earphones into an actual Apple” to “quality of your iPhone”?

    Cause I can´t seem to come around to that conclusion.

    Robert,

    I had to justify to certain VCs and etc that my web based code with one code base on Android and iPhone had merits.

    Robert, polish up your stats skills and re-examinethe data of both Android and iPhone. Android is showing the same basic exponential growth curve of iPhone in all areas.

    And Robert if you are going to trout out Neil at least tell a little interenet history that Neil was involved in..he probably still has Kai Krause’s Synthesizers..:)

    See if he’d waited until the next big iPhone version though, he could have recorded the song and video ON an iPhone/iPod…

    You know what? I scan almost all of your text-posts, but I hardly play any of your videos. It’s just a matter of scarce time and attention. By scanning text I can make myself an idea wether the content is worth a detailed reading or not. But as there is not such a thing with video, me (and I guess not only me) just skip them.

    So I don’t mind if the video is more powerful than text to push a message (which I agree, when it is well produced and edited… which is far from “by default”). If I don’t play them, the power is reduced to zero.
