Current Photo Friday theme: 2016 in Review
I’m finishing 2016 with a big time-traveling, musical blowout. Tom has given me a turntable, and I’ve christened it with my favorite rock and roll song ever, Bruce Springsteen’s “Thunder Road.” I don’t care if my old records are warped and scratchy–like the dude at the music store who sold us the turntable said, “If you want to hear perfection, you’re probably going to download it or buy a CD. If you want to experience all those records you loved…”
So that’s what I’m doing, and honoring Bruce because 2016 is the year the words in his memoir reminded me of everything I love about creativity and honesty and why I need those in my life. I am full of joy because of all the songwriters, poets, and authors and their words and ideas–and all the musicians who gave some of them a soundtrack. Happy old years, happy new year!
So retro!
I don’t know about over there, but it was on the BBC that vinyl sales are at their highest in the UK for 25 years: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38487837
I also say a report saying that a large percentage aren’t actually listened too – and that many youngster don’t know what a record looks like…
