Sharing The (Musical) Wealth Feels Good
It feels good to sell my old Jackson 5 The Ultimate Collection CD to a neighborhood kid for $2, and to part with a beautiful LP of Dylan Thomas' spoken word on Caedmon for 50 cents. It feels good to part with dozens of CDs and boxes of LPs, pass them on (cheaply!) to new owners, and thus to appreciate better the stuff we decided to keep. I love collecting records, but I don't see the point in owning more than I could possibly listen to in a lifetime. That'd be like having so many children you forget their names.
