    In reply to Quincy Jones Will Not Let Vibe Die
    I have to ask, if the digital realm has revolutionized the game, does it hurt or aid older business models?


    When the record companies got crushed by illegal downloads they didn't adapt quickly and the same with print.


    As an old, my only problem with digital is how much everything is disposable.


    Analog Hell, Digital Heaven?

    He's so awesome. With all the talk of Michael Jackson's career over the last several days, Quincy's impact on him can't be overstated. He was the one who transferred MJ into adulthood as an artist, and the best albums of his career are the ones they made together.


    If you ever want a good read, pick up a copy of Quincy's autobiography. Dude's lived enough life for 10 people.

    @noonecaresowen: I may actually do that. He's fascinated me for a long time and I don't think I even knew he'd written an autobiography.

    Quincy is a testament to it not being about a generational gap. Certain minds are timeless because they know and accept adaptation as part of the process. I nominate Quincy Jones as King of The Olds!

    "Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Post Intelligencer. The Miami Herald. They're over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century."


    Call me an old. I find this statement chilling.

    @unclevanya:
    Why chilling? I find it prescient. We can't afford to ignore the continuing downward spiral of the print media. It's a shame that the "more reputable" sources of news and information like the Times don't get this. While I can't claim to be an ardent reader of Vibe I certainly cannot devalue Jones' sentiment. It's 2009! Let's get with it already.

    @airvault: Chilling or prescient? The correct answer is: it's both.
