Links: Dr Dre and Apple, Alan Vega, Dangerous Minds.

iCompton: Dre as Apple product. I missed this one from Elizabeth Sandifer last year, but it’s shockingly timely with Apple’s ridiculous DRMable headphones now on the schedule. Dammit, this is the sort of article I’d kill to run on Rocknerd (though I probably wouldn’t catch up on Dre to do it).
Jesse Malin from D Generation reminisces on Dangerous Minds about his good friend Alan Vega. And Bruce Springsteen.
By the way, Dangerous Minds is a pretty nice site for middle-aged record nerd clickbait. What is the actual point of Dangerous Minds? To be a late night TV show with YouTube as the back end. They dredge the far reaches of the video sites for your entertainment.
