Celebrating Dinosaurs

Today is Record Store Day, a day to celebrate the end of the record industry and the record store.   With the rise of online music stores and the big box stores, the independent record store is dying a slow death.  The record industry too has been wounded by the Internet and the digital transfer.  So Record Store Day was born to celebrate both the industry and the record store.  For the music lover it is a great day because there are all sorts of rare and unusual stuff available.   It's also a day to try to ensure that world will have record stores for the near term.  It would be nice to have record stores around so my kids can browse and discover just like their old man.
