Uh Denny, I got to ask you, what's your
0:03
uh what's your position on uh on digital
0:06
downloading Spotify versus uh hard copy
0:10
place and sales? Where's your stance on
0:13
>> Well, I'm not a fan of Spotify, that's
0:15
for sure. Uh I don't have a Spotify
0:17
account and I don't use it. [music] Um
0:20
for a number of reasons. Um the good
0:23
side, of course, is that people can
0:26
discover music they've never heard of.
0:28
they can just kind of travel around and
0:30
find stuff. And I appreciate that. I do.
0:33
But, you know, everybody knows that they
0:38
And unfortunately, the person who runs
0:40
Spotify is turning out to be a very,
0:43
very bad person who is investing a lot
0:47
of money in Trump's war and all of that.
0:50
And I just I want no part of that, you
0:52
know? It's that's messing up messing up
0:55
music a lot. So, but you can't escape

1:04
know, a generation of music listeners
1:06
that don't appreciate
1:09
the fact that they can get music for
1:11
free. You know, it it shouldn't be for
1:13
free. People work very hard to make that
1:15
and spend a lot of money to make it
1:17
sound good, you know, or you try to. Um,
1:21
somebody pointed out that in 1955
1:25
if you went out to buy the new Elvis
1:27
single, one song, right, with a flip
1:29
side. It was 99. And that's what you pay
1:33
for one song on iTunes now.
1:35
>> Yeah. But I think about 63 64% of of
1:39
that 99 cents went to the artist to
1:42
Elvis, you know. Now it's not like
1:45
>> Yeah. Now it's not like that. Now it's
1:47
like a small small amount of of
1:50
>> Depending on who you're Yeah. who you're
