Why so much music for sale?

I like that circa 1970s photo of the Roxy on the cover of that Blue Note Live...LP. Reminds me of what LA/Hollywood was like in the mid '70s right around when Star Wars was first released. It's a different world now.

It's because music has fallen out of favor. I mean, it's so last millenium. Those of us in the know are dumping our music collections in favor of the Next Big Thing:

Music was a bubble. People are realizing that the reality doesn't justify the hype. "A sweet cheat", Joyce called it, and wrote books instead. The Next Big Thing will be chanting rhymes to the accompaniment of rhythm boxes on street corners.

Music was an old "flavor or the month". Folks are ditching their old music to buy gasoline so they can listen for free on their car radios.....

Enjoy,
