Prepare for an incoherrent rambling. I won't buy an iPod because I fear that it will keep me from buying CDs and , in turn, destroy the music industry as we know it. My first purchase of music was an 8-track of Blondie at a yard sale when I was 6. My little mind could not wrap around the fact that I had just bought the first bit of the soundtrack of my memories on the crappiest medium for music that has ever been invented. Onward I went to the cassette tape, scoffing at the older music crowd complaining about the vinyl to tape transfer with the whole "Yeah, they'll get over it" attitude only the youth can get away with.(I later became a vinyl lover, probably a regression of guilt). Finally the adaption to CD, my third (actually fourth) means of ownership of all music that I held dear to my heart. Oh, how I have amassed an obscene amount of audio art on this format.Ugh, I don't know where I'm going with this. HEAR ME WORLD, I DON'T LIKE IPODS!
