But when older folks complain regarding music's overwhelming plenitude and disposability now, they bring up the question: did their mini-generation care so much about their music because they paid for it, and because it took up physical space?
Do I really half-listen to releases now because they're in the cloud for free, whereas, back in the day, I would play, say, Run Westy Run's Twin/Tone debut over and over, fully concentrating on it in an attempt to justify my purchase of it and its spot between Run-D.M.C. and the Rutles in my sacred shelf realty?
