I agree that the kids have it easy today, but I'm glad to have everything on the net with easy access. Now that I'm older and have responsibilities, I don't have time to go to Rockit Records in Saugus or Quincy Records and sift through rare or live bootleg CD's. I can find everything I could want and more on the net. I miss the days when I could spend an entire day looking for music in the old record stores, but I love the easy access of finding it all at home.
I also think there's a lot of great music being made now, but you have to look a bit to find it because of all the crap being thrown out there. I listen to satellite radio in the car and am exposed to tons of good stuff that I wouldn't find otherwise. To me, it's the equivalent of staying up late and listening to the college radio stations when I was a teen. It's just a lot easier now.
