I’ve bought quite a few songs from iTunes over the last couple of years. So much so, I’m up to number 100 today. I bought a few songs today, and my hundredth song was The Knack’s My Sharona. Yes really. Stop laughing.
It’s quite a good song (IMHO) and it turns up in various random places. It was in an episode of The Simpsons I watched today, and I had iTunes open so I went and had a look. A few clicks later and I had the song. I really do love being able to do that. Back in the day, I’d have probably spent about 20 minutes trying to find a decent version on one of the many P2P networks, then waited about a week for it download. At least with iTunes, if it’s there, I can have it in a matter of seconds, and it just works. Plus, by virtue of the fact it’s in my library now, its on my iPod too. This is what the internet is really good at!
