How do you acquire new music?
“I do it all. I buy used and new CD's, download them, copy off of friends…”
What do you think of new CD prices; too high, too low, just fine?
“The price of new CDs now is way higher than what they were when I first started buying them in 1985 – then it was only $9.99! Most of the CDs I buy are used now.”
What do you think of MP3 downloading, do you feel it’s justified or hurts the artist?
“I think I can see both sides to this, sure the artists might have lost some money to downloads, but I think it also can help them also. I have bought CDs because I have liked tunes that I have downloaded.”
Do you think Los Angeles is an easy or difficult place to meet others for dating?
“With all these people crammed in so close, it’s easy to find a date. But at times the quality of these dates is less than desirable.”
Have you used online services or personal ads to help you find people to date? If so, were you successful? If not, why not?
“I have met a few girls here and there online.”
If yes to the above question, any stories you’d like to share?
I dated a couple of the girls I met for a little while. Also went out on a few dates with a DJ from one of the local stations, and we are still good friends. She was a freak!”
