So I organized all my CDs and got them put away and now am just not listening to much music.  What's up with that?

For one thing, the expense.  If I listen to my CDs, I'll just get tired of them and want to buy some more.  In light of the fact that I have a hi-def TV and Comcast is gouging me for $114.99 per month, it seems that leaving the TV on, and getting what I can from those investments, makes more sense than buying more music.

For another thing, art forms like Dancing and TV include music, so I can get it, and more, from them.

Then there's the, oh I don't know what to call it but will say it's the closed-minded genre/ego thing.  So many people have some little genre that they like to the exclusion of the others.  FWIW, it's not nearly so bad now as it was back in the early 1980s, when people's preference for classic rock, punk rock, or disco could actually lead to violence. But I am just sick of people who don't like music X, where X is hip hop, or country music, or hippie music, or classical music, or whatever.

I think it's the record companies: in an effort to sell us more product, they promote this sort of demographically-defined closed mindedness, and people's appreciation of art and others outside their demographic suffers.

For now, I'll get my music from what they play in the clubs and in the background of my favorite TV shows, and from the eleven dissimilar stations I have programmed into the buttons in my car.  (FYI the only one duplicated in the two sets of six is 92.1, Super Estrella!)
