The last of the iTunes holdouts   
You know the names: Led Zeppelin, Garth Brooks, Radiohead, Kid Rock, and yes, The Beatles…none on iTunes. But analysts say after holdouts like Metallica and Bob Seger recently made the jump, these groups can’t be far behind. A few of them in fact already are on in someways…Thom Yorke of Radiohead is, as are Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of LZ.

Don’t any of these music people have kids? Nieces or nephews with iPods or similiar portable MP3 playing device? I know that if they did, they would be all…

“whoa, that iTunes is pretty coo…OH SNAP! Vanilla Ice!”

    Aside of kids. Don’t these people want to continue to make money off their stuff? I’ve DL’ed so many old songs (just today I picked up Mr. Roboto) that I pick up on the radio. No way I’d try to track that old track down in a record store.

    Hard to imagine holding out at the cost of your own income.
