Author: AC/DC does not allow their music to be legally purchased for online streaming, download or any other online method.
As a music fan, I like to listen to music throughout the work day. Many years ago I purchased many CDs and played music in a CD player. As time progressed I have embraced services such as Rhapsody, Amazon and other sites that allow a decent selection to legally listen to my favorite artists and support their efforts.
I do not listen to CDs anymore. I listen to streaming services and MP3 files. I do not download illegal music. Over the past few months, I have been wanting to listen to AC/DC. I have searched near and far to a place to purchase AC/DC where I can listen online. Nope. Only those who want to illegally download music can listen to them online with the exception of watching videos. In the search I have seen statements from AC/DC saying that they never will allow their collection to be available online. To me, that is the same as them not allowing them to come out on CD because they only wanted them to be available on cassette. This is not the 80′s or 90′s people. You are choosing for your fans to not be able to purchase your music on the new popular formats only because you do not understand the new demands of your legit fans. Yes, there will be those who pirate your music…they already do. Do not be stubborn old farts. Get with the program and allow your fans to purchase your music.
It is July 4th already! Wow. Happy Independence Day!
This is a fantastic country and no matter how bad things are right now, we should feel blessed for all that we have.
I recently saw a news story where the anual income in Yemen is $1,000 per year. This is not a lot of money.
God bless America. Happy fourth of July everyone!
Tags: Gee. Everybody still seems to be here after the May 21 end of the world or rapture or judgment day.
Anybody surprised? Really? Anybody?
For those of you that think the end of the world is May 21, would you please schedule all of your money to be sent to me on May 22?
Why not? Don’t you believe it enough?
As I work for my clients I must say that it is nice to notice that the WORLD is figuring out the benefits of social media in most aspects of business. 
There are a lot of old school companies out there that do not understand the need to now make it easier for their customers to be able to jump across all of their marketing channels. Cross channel marketing is important. It is the same customers that what help on your Facebook page to visit your store in the mall. Promotions should be coordinated. Information should be provided.
For the most part, I believe that the economy has forced these companies
Everything chatters. All channels matter.
I seriously am obsessed with dramatically improving success in 2011. My clients and co-workers and teams are great. 
I am moving many of my sites “THE NEXT LEVEL” this year. I am in search of partners, peers and others that can work with me. At this time, I am seeking content pfoiders.
My philosophy has also increased over the past year where the more success, the more charitable contriutions. Being a good person is important.
2011 is almost here. While 2010 has been great, 2011 will be awesome!
There were some things happen in the news this last year that were big surprises and some that were way to predictable. Sarah Palin should be a celebrity and not a politition!
Cheers to 2011
Happy Holidays! This is going to be a great holiday season. Whether for Black Friday or watching the kids opening their presents. Christmas time is great! Traveling is a bit tough these days. But hey…. We can only do so much.
Facebook is down again.
I now realize how many times a day I visit. Come back up please.
August 15 has always been “THE DAY” where people REALLY start thinking about Halloween that have not been into it before!
There does seem to be much more interest in our favorite day this year than any other year. Happy Halloween everyone!
