Your Hard Drive

With 74 + minute .10 cent blank CDs, and any song at your disposal, your hard drive is the #1 classic album of all time. But at what cost?

Music has taken on a completely new, expendable meaning and taking my faith along with it. Neil Young is coming out with a new album next month...? I'd sit and patiently wait, crossing the days off on my calendar, reading reviews, staying up late waiting to catch the new single on the radio's "New Music Countdown."

Slowly the radio would release the single, then another... you can't take it, one week until the new album.. you've seen him perform the new song on Letterman, Leno, Conan... waiting eagerly..

Until one day your kid sister, walks in and hands you 30 copies of an album that hasn't even been released plus the video... The wind has been stomped out of your sails.. or in the records companies case... their sales.

European bootlegs, Hasselhoff live in Germany...

The one remaining truth left on the planet, music, has been compartmentalized and reduced to 0's and 1's. We can now download anything, anywhere at anytime leaving nothing left to our imagination except, "how can we make it faster."
