>It is easy to buy local. Support your community. Go to the local store. Don’t go back to the big corporations who have sold out America.
Is it easy? How many people live walking distance from a record store? Or know of one within 10 or even 30 minutes drive? One that isn't a big corporation (i.e. Walmart, Target, Best Buy*, B&N). Who still owns a CD player?
I do, but not in my car. The 'infotainment' is sophisticated enough to call in an airstrike, but can't play CDs. Okay, so I've got the CD in hand, can't play it yet, just need to rip it and transfer to USB. Grab the MacBook, and... no optical drive.
It's not as easy as the old man purports. I'm reminded of the scene in Austin Powers where he puts a CD on the turntable.
*Best Buy stopped selling DVDs and Blu-Rays, not sure about music.
