Having a reasonably undiluted Irish heritage, I can attest that not all of us have the fabled “gift of gab.” So when U2’s Bono recently mentioned to Time’s Catherine Mayer (http://time.com/3393297/u2-apple-new-digital-format/) that the band and Apple were working on a new digital music format, you have to credit it not to his Irish origin but rather to the notion that the man’s made a career of speaking his mind.</p><p>
Other than his suggestion that such a format is in the works, we have no details. But that doesn’t prevent me from speculating on what it might mean. Key here, I believe, is what current digital downloads and streams lack, both from an artist’s and consumer’s perspective.
