Just a trick of marketing. And CD's... I find the idea of their innovative relationships (with music especially) very smart! you wander in to drink a cup of coffee and stay for hours! But if you gonna sell bears instead of music... world will turn upside down! :) Yeah, fun Those toys are for kids and kidults. Just a trick of marketing. And CD’s…

The first thing I thought was how long till there is no physical market for music left. What could one do to secure a future in such a business? I love CDs, the art, the lyrics, the liner notes telling me who wrote and played what. I wonder if there will always be people like me. Will people still wander into music stores and talk to the clerk about their latest discovery? I am personally not a great example of one of the hardcore music fans, but my heart aches to think what we loose as a society if these places cease to exist. Can anything save them?
