What does it mean when the whole world dances to 1 radio beat?
Summary
Is it just another case of globalization blandness, where the mom-and-pop shops we loved for their intimacy and uniqueness are driven out to make room for Starbucks and McDonalds? Or is it the sugary sentiment of Fievel and Tanya Mousekewitz looking up at the same night sky from their respective corners of the world, singing: "And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star." Beats 1 is Hands Across America stretched across the internet in adjoined bits of digital audio. It’s a 24/7 Happy video, except people are experiencing a range of censored emotions generated by three DJs in London, New York, and LA — all speaking English. Jimmy Iovine discussed the impact he hopes Apple Music and Beats 1 Radio will have on culture with Jim Dalrymple on Monday.
