Bon Jovi blames Apple's CEO for all of the industry's woes.

Video may have killed the radio star, but music as a whole? You are free to blame Steve Jobs.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi recently told The Sunday Times Magazine (via MSN) the Apple CEO is “personally responsible for killing the music business.” He then talked about how he misses glancing at record albums and smelling the fresh vinyl - too closely, perhaps?

We’ve heard many complain about the quality of digital music, but that’s not really what Bon Jovi seems to have a problem with. He’s saddened by the loss of the “magical” experience. Perhaps he’s just waxing poetic and missing his youth and spandex.
