Elton John wants to shut down the internet

No joke. “The internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff,” Elton John explains. “Instead they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK but it doesn’t bode well for long-term artistic vision…. Hopefully the next movement in music will tear down the internet…. Let’s get out in the streets and march and protest instead of sitting at home and blogging.” And finally there’s this little quote to polish off the interview: “I don’t have a mobile phone or an iPod or anything.”
