If he ran for president, I would vote for him for the simple fact our president would be the coolest man in history.

@HunterMann I'm 14 and I know this collection is godly. This guy is legendary!

I wonder if Paul knew a Jim Danas of Queens, NY, who was another avid record collector.

wow it's so amazing

ONE DAY....... One day.... well, except i would only buy music that i like... i.e. 70s/80s new wave & post punk. and, y'know, some 80s pop, 70s glam rock, industrial, etc. i just wanna go to this guys house.. i mean its like a record store
-
@HunterMann I do!

@JasonsVinylObsession He's just a guy that likes to collect a lot of music, good or bad, rare or common. I highly doubt he actually knows every artist in that library of a collection. He just buys everything he can.

@rlholo Just watched it again... He was actually asked about the value, so never mind on that point. Maybe he was coming from a place of sentimentality. Anyway, it's just something that struck me.

@rlholo True, true. I took the question literally. If he meant his response to be about sentimental value, then I totally understand. However, he did mention dollar value on the record, and I don't recall anything about sentimentality, which makes me think he meant his response as to monetary value. I have no qualms... his collection is awesome, it just struck me that he didn't have more jaw-dropping items to show in those rows and rows of records.
That man is 70?!?!?
Amazing. Doesn't look any olde than 50.

@dimebagdave77 I agree. In fact, it's a bit insulting to his legacy for them to lump him in with all of the disfuncional hoarders by calling him a "pack rat". That really blows! He is an archivist. There is nothing physically "pack ratty" about his archive. Notice that we didn't see any old food or a million cats hanging around. The man was serious, though I wish he'd handle the records with gloves on.
Sadly, most of the 16-25 year olds don't have a clue about the value of this archive.
