I went to a few back in college in St Louis. But I didn't have as heartwarming an experience as you. I usually felt that anyone there felt they were better than me because of the music I liked. I'm a metalhead, always have been. And to be sneered at for buying Slayer (this happened) is inexcusable. <br /><br />But, come to think of it, like these employees, I too have a distaste for popular music and can be a bit of a dick when discussing music. I enjoy my smaller bands too. I would probably make a horrible record store employee. There are still plenty of used cd stores around cleveland, but we don't go to them much unless we just can't find it anywhere else. Even then, $10 for a used cd or $16 for a new one is too much. While we do not download illegally, we do get 90% of what we need from the library. <br /><br />As a guy who used to spend all my discretionary income on CDs and concerts, I now actually spend very little on music. Chalk that up to a few things. The availability of free music, getting into podcasts (thank yourself for that one ;) ) and a general lessening of free time. Also, you really can't buy CDs anymore. Even best buy is down to one aisle of CDs now, and its pretty much all top 40.<br /><br />Sorry, this turned into a bumbling rant that has nothing to do with your movie review. (Haven't seen it, prob wont) But I just started typing and haven't stoped yet. Now.Tommytheduckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307628797850627084noreply@blogger.com
