As Bob Dylan recently stated, streaming platforms make the music industry "too smooth and painless".
The iconic singer-songwriter has given a rare interview to The Wall Street Journal. Apart from promoting his new book, The Philosophy of Modern Song, Dylan claimed that even though he might occasionally use some streaming services, he prefers vinyl, CDs, and radio a great deal.
According to Dylan, "Everything's too easy. Just one stroke of the ring finger, middle finger, one little click, that's all it takes. We've dropped the coin right into the slot," he said. "It's all too easy, too democratic. You need a solar X-ray detector just to find somebody's heart, see if they still have one."
Dylan further suggested that a record player is still the best way to listen to music.
