While I love the technology that allows me to have anything and everything available to me with the click of the mouse, I can't help but feel sadness at the thought that there is a whole generation of people who rarely if ever go to the record store. Every time I find myself digging thru the bins for vinyl (yes, vinyl, remember that?)I feel such a connection to the music. Remembering smells, tastes, moments in time. Laying on the floor with my big ol' headphones snuggled deep into my afro, the album cover open in front of me. Watching the needle glide across the grooves of the vinyl, waiting to pick it up and put it back at the beginning. The way a song that you listened to over and over sounded a little bit different from the rest of the record. No matter how free or cheap it is or gets to download, you will always find me at the record store, digging and happy.
I'm new to this MOG world and have been wandering around, looking at folks musical tastes and I have to say that I wish there had been a venue like this for me when I was in high school 400 years ago. You see, I was A Rare Breed back in the day; an African-American........METAL HEAD!! My fam and peeps used to holla so much shit at me for listening to music that "black folks don't listen to". So when I see the varied tastes of everybody from all ethnic backgrounds, just diggin' good ass music regardless of genre, it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, ya'll. Thank you.

I have a few friends that grew up in situations like yours. It's fucked up and silly to look at the world like that, but it's was their generations why of dealing with shit.
I was lucky in a way. My Momma don't dance and my Daddy don't rock n roll, so if I was listening to Van Morrison or Mayhem, it was almost all the same to them.
Provocative post. Reminds me how much the 'generation gap' can hurt.
