Pete Townshend Calls Downloading “Heartless”

July 16th, 2008

Pete Townshend slammed the digital music industry, calling internet downloading “heartless.” He prefers the old-fashioned system of buying a CD from a record store.  The Who guitarist explained:

“iTunes simply doesn’t have heart. It is software attached to a bank, nothing more, nothing less. Brilliant, but heartless.”

I can’t blame him for feeling that way. I must be old-fashioned as well because I still prefer going into a music store and looking for a CD or record.
