On this festive July 4 holiday weekend, my friend Missy told me a story of rock music and social media that I felt was worth sharing (with her permission). A tale that shows how a musician can show they care by connecting with fans and helping them connect.
Since the most common comparison to the Droid is the iPhone, the question of music often comes up. The iPhone was built to be one part iPod, one part phone, so the natural usage of music on the iPhone made sense. With the competitive nature between the iPhone and the Droid, it only makes sense that the users of the Droid phone would want to be able to play music too.
For the last decade, we have been repeating the styles that have come before.
