The End Of An Era


Will the next generation of kids even know what a record is?

I love your photographs.

I've had this discussion with my son. I tend to call CD's records and of course they are recordings and thus are "records" regardless of whether digital or analog data is pressed into the plastic.

You can't fight pop-speak though. We now refer to the medium and not the content and you rate your iPod by how many "songs" it holds rather than how many symphonies or concerti. The CD may fade away soon - who knows.

But the record store is starting to look as nostalgic and old-timey as a 1930's photo of a radio store - a Hopperesque remembrance of things past.

Who knows what's going to look quaint in another 20 years?

with the explosion of internet businesses, brick and mortar storefronts may become a dying breed

Yet they keep building malls and more malls and then some more malls.

REtail space seems to be the only thing made in America any more.

Yeah, and have you noticed that they are building children's play places in the malls. This way, instead of kids going to the park or to the lake or beach to play, their immediate thought is to go to the mall.

That's how every bit of our lives is commoditized and sold to us.

Sickening and sad.

The newer ones here are calling themselves Lifestyle Centers. Pretty sad style of living if it's all about buying stuff and eating fried potatoes.
