Nice little read about the history of the Walkman. I still have a tape playing Walkman, a CD Walkman and various MP3/digital Walkman's. To my ears, the sound of the digital Walkman is far better than an iPod, iPhone or other cell phones and MP3 players, though, I am sure there are higher end players that sound better than the Walkman.

I've been reading - and going back to read again - the Steve Jobs book. It's amazing, really, how he really spearheaded the changes that we are now used to, including the dismantling and ruination of the music industry and the quality of how music is listened to.
I have a CD player... it still works.

Well, the MP3 and trading via Napster and Limewire etc. opened the floodgates of change, there was no going back. Jobs just harnessed it into purchasable product.

"Mick won't see anyone half an hour before the show, so don't bring him along. Tony King, personal manager, had reminded me of this.
However, Sony Founder Akio Morita arrived at the Tokyo Dome backstage 15 minutes before the show!.
Even though Tony King told me so, I couldn't help but tell him because the guest was "MR. SONY".
It was just before the show and I thought it would be impossible, but to my surprise, Mick came out to say hello!
And this was the first thing he said as he shook his hand.
"Don't scold my parents."
As soon as I heard it, what was he going to say? I thought. But what Mick said is this.
"Please don't scold my parents for their lack of discipline in their son. I know it's not polite to be dressed like this to meet a gentleman, but I had to change my attire to go on stage."
I got goosebumps. I was moved by these phrases.
A lot has been said about Mick Jagger's greatness as a rock musician and creator, and I'm sure he is, but don't you think this is an episode about his upbringing, his character and his education?
It was a great greeting, with Mick's gentlemanly cultivation and a bit of Britishness, and a bit of sarcasm.
