iTunes

Geezers rule!

I love that the 10 Billionth iTunes music download was by a Geezer, Louie Sulcer.

The 10 billionth song, “Guess Things Happen That Way” by Johnny Cash, was downloaded by Louie Sulcer of Woodstock, Georgia. As the grand prize winner of Apple’s 10 Billion Songs Countdown contest, Louie will receive a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card.

Louie was unimpressed saying he can’t imagine who would need 10,000 songs. He is 71. When he got the call from Apple icon, Steve Jobs, he was skeptical.

“He was real nice, I told him I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed iTunes and the iPod. I really enjoy country music. He asked me if I played the guitar, and I said, ‘Oh my goodness. That is my life-long frustration.”

Sulcer did not bother to go on the Apple website to see what $10,000 can buy. He called his daughter in Mississippi to tell her the news and she asked him what he wanted.
