I’m in my fifties, I don’t own an mp3 player and wouldn’t have time to use one even if I did. I see many people on the streets using them though. I kind of feel like a time traveler from a bygone era. As a time traveler I have been wondering about two things. First: How good are these little “ear buds” or “in-ear phones”? We had this technology forty years ago but nobody would use them because it was said that the sound quality was bad compared to those big over the ear phones. Has technology for this type of ear device improved since then? Second: Nobody in my time would even think of inserting one of these things in his ear if it had already been used by someone else. Now I see people sharing these things with each other without hesitation. What has changed?

Many people love things for free, even if it's crap. It's *our fault* to be picky, see? =P They don't give anything for free here! Convenience theft, (I mean, charge), yes. For using my paper & ink, also a charge. Um, cheaper than having tickets printed by them, yes. It's never free. Also, I hate the fact that there's always a presale only for those who have some specific credit card. People who do not have those credit cards are pretty much screwed up. I fell for it and got one last month. Debt! Yay! =/ (expletive)'em! =P ---> Not sure if the censorship button works on comments too =) Well, at least two lousy songs for free.

Just bought 3 tickets for the Cure. $49.50 per ticket. Plus $30 in fees. What a racket. I really hope the Nine Inch Nails tour works well as they sell the tickets themselves. I hope they make billions and billions of dollars so everyone else will follow their lead. I want the money to go to the artists. I’m so with you.
