>There's a new generation coming that will never go into a record shop, own >decks, care about a 909 in mint condition...
sorry but that is such a BS statement. It can be argued then that there is a new generation coming that will never go into an acoustic guitar shop or care about a pre-war Gibson either. This "new" generation has among it some people who will one day go into a record shop, own decks and maybe even plunk down well over 10 grand for a old classic guitar. I know when I was 15 I wouldn't have cared much about a 909 either - I was happy playing my Rickenbacher. sure, the majority of the "new generation" won't ever go into a record shop etc. but then again most of the people I know in my age bracket don't either. You're talking about very specialized areas of interest - I wonder if there is a ballroom dancing email list that having a similar discussion about the "new generation"? MEK
