Why so much????


In response to a post appearing here yesterday a number of 'AGon-people' claimed to have CD and vinyl collections numbering in the hundreds and even thousands. Other posters questioned the need for so much music (impossible to listen to all of it!) while others spoke of a pissing contest among the 'overly endowed'.
Your thoughts are requested for the following questions:
1) How much is too much?
2) To those with so much...Why? What's your rationale?
3) Are you crazy?

Just curious. I'll give my thoughts later.

Thanks for all of your responses. My answers are as follows:
1. I'll know I have too much when my Ellyn tells me. Hold on a second. Just so you know, Ellyn called me from Rio once to spend 45 minutes telling me what she had seen in the way of original vinyl copies of psych from the Tropicalia Movement. Turned out to be a good trip for me when she got back. I may have to be the one to tell her when too much is too much.

2. I've always found comfort and refuge in libraries. Why not build my own? Friends, neighbors and acquaintances who know of my PASSION happily contribute with no expectation of remuneration.

3. Crazy...maybe but I'd be crazier without my vinyl for my many moods.

I never liked the expression 'it's the economy stupid!' but for me it really is about the music!
