How do you acquire new music?
“I buy CDs at shows a lot, or friends give me CDs. My friends burn CDs for each other.”
What do you think of new CD prices; too high, too low, just fine?
“I don’t see why people would buy CDs when you can burn them for so cheap. And then you can make your own CDs and leave out songs you don’t like.”
What do you think of MP3 downloading, do you feel it’s justified or hurts the artist?
“I don’t really think about it that much. I don’t go out of my way to download music; my friends do it for me.”
Do you think Los Angeles is an easy or difficult place to meet others for dating?
“I think it’s MUCH easier up here, guys from LA don’t give up so easily, they are persistent even if you say ‘no’ at first. In Orange County the guys there are a little bit more scared, they won’t come up to you.”
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 met a guy in Vegas and took a picture of us all partying. A year later I saw his picture on Rockabillydating.com and recognized him and we got in touch through that.”
If yes to the above question, any stories you’d like to share?
“I hit it off with that guy for 3 months and then I found out that he was back with his ex that he hadn’t completely broken up with. That sucked but I learned a lot about relationships in those three months”
