"My pessimistic forecast is that the great thing about the music business right now with Spotify or Apple Music is that you subscribe to one service to get everything. But when content is being used to attract you to a certain service or to get you to use a certain kind of hardware, whether its Apple products or Amazon, then we're not all going to get the same content. And how many of these services do you have to subscribe to get them all? It's going to be crazy. It's going to be a very fragmented content world and people aren't going to even know where the best stuff is. It's going to be really hard for things to break through. That's a bummer. It's sad for America when we don't have things that we're all watching and talking about together."
