I really love this guy. A true mensch, as Billy Joel has said. He's such a big reason Columbia was THE record label from the '60s (Dylan) to '70s (Joel) to '80s (Jackson). I know I sound old, but it's true: There was a certain joy and excitement in buying LPs; holding that big slice of cardboard and wax in your hands in the record store. Immediacy has replaced more aesthetic joys.
Please come into my job, Amoeba Music, in Los Angeles. I work at the info desk. Records are not dead, and I will direct you to new artists who have released LPs exclusively on vinyl. It's awesome. We are better than Tower Records ever was.

Walter, you're are great man but you sound a little bit hypocritical considering you were slow to get on board MTV & the CD.
