Music used to be the product. But more and more, it's like Jon is the product; and music is just the vehicle, or the excuse, to promote and sell it

If you are losing voice, losing ability to sell music nowadays comparing to the past and you can't sell music on stadium during pandemic times, then selling yourself digitally and tokenize your archive is everything you are left with
So basically - "If you can't do what you do, you do what you can"
I don't blame guy. He worked his entire life and pushed to the limits. He is cutting the coupons now. I just dislike disgusting style of it... that's it. Sad retirement style for man who once had bunch of charity concerts in Count Basie Theater and was meeting his fans in drink bar clubs for deciding what kind of music will fit for new album. 35 years of step-to-step highway from garage rehearsals to JBJ enterprise.
