Influences & Credits

A lot of great people have influenced me over the past ten years of digital music and media explorations. Without them, and without what they have shared with me (in person or otherwise), I wouldn't be writing The End of Control. So let me give credit to some of them (and this list is not complete yet, so stay tuned):

• David Bowie and his mention of my favorite tagline "Music will be like water" — I believe it was in this NYT feature back in 2002 (thankfully, they have now opened up their archives so you can actually read this!)
• Jim "Pool of Money" Griffin — a great mind and good friend 
• Richard Branson (and his autobiography) 
• Larry Lessig and the Creative Commons People 
• Don Tapscott and his books (especially Wikinomics) 
• Chris Anderson and his Long Tail book 
• Glen Hiemstra at Futurist.com 
• John Perry Barlow (you would have guessed ;-), and the EFF 
• The combined creative chaos and "wisdom of the masses" that comes via the Pho List
• The book "The Art of Digital Music"by Kelli Richards and David Battino
