Thanks for this reminder of what it was like to have our minds to ourselves. What was natural then is now something we need a whole new level of discipline to achieve. I also look back fondly at many hours just browsing and then having a coffee skimming the pages of a new discovery.

I once described the great song as a form of church, and us music obsessives a kind of congregation, made up of “those who still look to records for uplift, for comfort, for a soundtrack to our joy and sorrow and fumbling growth, for a way to make sense of the human experience.”

Thanks for this. There is something about music and song that cuts through to some of us humans in a visceral way. A familiar song is an emotional remembering.
