This month, the compact disc turns 25.
Will it make it to 30? What about even 27?
I remember the hype, the buzz. It would be better than buttered bread. A whole new sound, a freedom to our music. No more hiss and pop of the 33 (I MISS THAT SOUND) no more of that electronic buzz of the 8-track when it changed in the middle of the song (I THINK I STILL HAVE A COUPLE) and the constant clicking of the wheels of a cassette ( UM . . . MY HUSBAND STILL HAS SUCH A PLAYER IN HIS SEMI).
It was a musical revolution.
No it wasn�t. It was like a wig to wear until your hair gets longer, or better yet, it was like hair extensions. There � that�s more modern. Today with MP3s and iTunes, it now seems like the CD was a technology appetizer.
Here�s something fun:
What was the first commercial CD to be released?
There is a debate about the first ever pressed CD. What two CDs are both reported to hold this honor?
What was the best selling CD of 2006?]
