Today, I asked a twenty something where to buy a CD. Yes, you’re right I got some very weird looks and the mumbled comment, “I haven’t bought a CD in years.”<\/p>\n
Well, yes and this is probably why I am asking. My local HMV has closed – being replaced by an Urban Outfitter store. I wasn’t aware that there still was one HMV store downtown that still had music and movies etc. for sale. Now this means that I have to choose from either:<\/p>\n
1. Getting downtown, parking and\/or taking public transit and walking to find the store and then hoping that they took a chance on stocking the particular CD I wanted…<\/p>\n
2. Or going on-line and downloading the disc from Amazon. I don’t mind the downloading – but the price tag looks like it’s $34.95 and that sounds a little steep for a CD.<\/p>\n
Well, it is a new release and it is a recording of previously never published Hank Williams songs and OK Bob Dylan croaks his way through at least one song – not to mention gems from other big names. Maybe I just have to have this CD, no matter how much it costs. It is all about those people who have a life beyond the grave – like James Dean, Elvis…….et al……<\/p>\n
Funny, John Lennon hasn’t really been immortalized like the few who have, unlikely though they are. Maybe Yoko Ono has become that immortalization or prevented it?<\/p>\n
Sorry, I’m rambling…… but then, I am reminded again that the times, they have changed, even though the artists have remained the same.<\/p>\n
Where have all the ________ gone? Maybe not that far – my eldest’s latest project for art school was a an interpretive painting of Joan Baez – the more things change the more they remain the same.<\/p>\n
Re-invent yourself often – just don’t lose the core of what you are all about!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
