Some artists are all thrilled about Apple’s upcoming streaming service, Apple Music. Rumors have been flying about artists not getting paid for the service’s first three months, which has artists like Adele and Arctic Monkeys threatening to not include their music in Apple Music.
One artist who’s no stranger to voicing frustrations about Apple is Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. The singer began his airing of grievances in April when he complained about an iTunes update that, in Vernon’s opinion, was designed poorly and showed the company was lacking innovation.
thats it. I've had it.
APPLE:
you were a great company. fearless.
innovative.now iTunes literally is just BAD DESIGN.#COMEBACK

been thinking this for a while.
ironically i think its iTunes why I've listened to less music / 2yrs. bad syncing/platform— blobtower (@blobtower) June 16, 2015
Vernon’s message does have some validity to it, as the current design of iTunes is somewhat of a mess. A few hours later, the Bon Iver singer explained the previous tweets and what he was trying to express.
but seriously, i hope HATE isn't the message. Just literally wish that the humans who had the power, USED it to literally make things better
