> I'm old enough to have browsed for hours at Tower Records - using a CD purchase as an excuse to enjoy being in a record store, around all the other music geeks. The 90s were not exactly a match for the glory days of the 70s at record stores, from what I've heard, but it was still pretty great, and I'm sad they're going away.
I know where you're coming from. Tower Records was just always a fun stop on an evening or afternoon out doing nothing in particular. They had movies, they had CDs, they had funky magazines. I'm just amazed how quickly they folded. They were huge and seemed quite profitable. I never suspected in the 90's that they would be gone in a decade. Then again, that's nothing compared to the shock the record industry experienced...
