Quincy Jones Talks about Future of Music at 2009 SxSW

Quincy Jones is the cat who performed with some of the greatest names in music, produced some of the hottest music for some of the hottest musicians; most recently and notably Michael Jackson. He is the founder of Vibe magazine who found the perfect formula of bringing together multiple genres of music with a focus on the vibe and less on the difference. Do you think I’m a fan? I am. Yet I have to admit that he just earned a zillion cool points for keynoting at SxSW and demonstrating that older doesn’t mean antiquated and out of touch. He gets it and I like that. Listen to him dish on Napster and the future of music in the digital age.  “Baby, the train is on the way…” (Watch the video to see what that means.)
