Not crazy but seriously obsessed. It does beat having all these Lps end up in the dump. Now he has to set up a trust to maintain all this stuff after he's gone.

Somebody should tell this guy that they are pumping out new records by the thousands. The average person doesn't even know records are still made, so this story seems somewhat interesting to them.
