the cost of pure joy
the new car stereo is IN, there was some hassle AND added cost…is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY (so far)…Satellite radio capability might have been nice; but the whole point is to be able to play my iPod–and I can…and CDs too, though new ones are kinda hard to find as far as I’m concerned; BEST BUY apparently doesn’t wanna deal with ’em much…
losing the ability to PLAY Music would be bad enough, being unable to HEAR it at all would be for me a living death…but for now I can enjoy the Music I like the most…you can have PROUD MARY, just gimme my RAMBLE TAMBLE…you can have your PINBALL WIZARD, just gimme my DOGS PART TWO…you can have your FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH, just gimme my DOWN TO THE WIRE (the Stills vocal version)…the trip to tonight’s gig won’t take all that long, but tomorrow afternoon I’m going up the road to Frederick; looking forward to that…even the CD of MY Music sounds good; it IS poorly “produced” and there are a bunch of “boo-boos”but that doesn’t matter to ME…I dunno fer sure but CDs seem to have a sonic fullness lacking in MP3s…I compared the CD recording of one of my songs with the MP3 representation of same…*I* could hear the difference…but Life is SUPER Good–for the time being, and that’s fine by me…
