How do you acquire new music?
“Internet, music stores, downloading mp3s and burning cds. Listening to it on the streets I guess, in the car, stuff like that.”
What do you think of new CD prices; too high, too low, just fine?
“A lot of them actually are going up pretty fast; you actually almost have to wait 2 months to get a CD almost at a reasonable price. A lot of places, you just have to know where to go, when to go, stuff like that.”
What do you think of MP3 downloading, do you feel it’s justified or hurts the artist?
“It hurts the artist a little bit because it takes away from what he could be making but it also gets, if the people really like it, it gets them to go out and buy the album afterward if they really like the whole album, since you can’t get the whole album on mp3, you can only get one or two songs. So it gets the person, if they really like the person, to go out and buy the album afterward.”
Do you think Los Angeles is an easy or difficult place to meet others for dating?
“It depends who you know, where to go. It depends actually a lot on where you go because you can just walk up to somebody just walking down the street. I don’t know it’s kind of easy, you could say I guess”
Have you used online services or personal ads to help you find people to date? If so, were you successful? If not, why not?
“Not so much, I mean I’ve got friends and stuff like that over the internet, and I go in chat rooms and stuff like that. Here and there I guess, you could say.”
If yes to the above question, any stories you’d like to share?
“That’s why it’s nice to have a picture, and stuff like that, on the internet so you can send it so you know exactly kinda what the people look like, here or there. I haven’t had any weird experiences myself. I’ve met a few way out people a couple times, that’s why I like having pictures so I can look, see what the person looks like before I meet ‘em”
