Too bad. It’s the best kind of music.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Too bad. It’s the best kind of music.”

No argument from me. Outside the COW my language is filthy.

But we take seriously that the COW is in schools, places of worship, government facilities and workplaces where that stuff really doesn’t fly. There are whole COUNTRIES that will shut us out if we don’t take this kind of thing seriously.

So we do.

Outside the COW, though, have at it.

Yes, I believe its about growing their music business. But the criticism directed at the merger was that the company they bought makes so-so reviewed but PROFITABLE accessories and is not worth the money paid for the music distribution portion as compared too further developing their own. But Michael Jordan was a major variable in Nike’s success. AFAIK he was not a talented shoe designer. He was a brand, an image, a personality. Notice that Apple’s deal included hiring their two key players not just their business. My tax write off line was just saying if their gamble doesn’t work then Apple will survive because they can afford a few huge miscalculations with their excess in liquid capital.

Fred Jacobs agrees, noting that the Beats deal gives Apple access to the creative drive and iconic status of Beats’ leaders Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre. And Jacobs knows a little bit about star power, having pioneered the “Classic Rock” radio format 30 years ago. These days, he’s president of the radio consultancy Jacobs Media and writer of its radio blog.

“None of the other music streaming services have the same celebrity-driven aura of Beats,” Jacobs said. “This gives Beats—and now Apple—something that Pandora and Spotify just do not have.”
