Such is Elton John, who risks tarnishing his career amongst the geeks and nerdery around the world by declaring “the internets are bad”. 

Ugh, I can scarcely put down three words without gagging about how fundamentally and stereotypically *old* he sounds. 

I half expect him to start talking about how life was better when he used to have to walk five miles, in the snow, without shoes, up a hill, in a blizzard, just to record real music for *real* music devices … you know, like the gramaphone.  Because nothing reproduces sound *quite* like a gramaphone.

To be fair, JD does mention a lack of sources (as in none are quoted).  And it is an article from the Sun, which is a fairly trashy tabloid, from what I can recall [which is now in the same family as the Wall Street Journal -- well done, Bancrofts!].  So, as much as we tech bloggers work ourselves into a righteous frothy stew of indignancy, I’m also happy to wait for a few days to see if Sir Elton sets us straight.

… pun not intended.
