"No invention in my lifetime has so changed an art and cheapened it as the Sony Walkman, which first infiltrated our culture 25 years ago this month." By Norman Lebrecht / July 26, 2004

Can we live without some sort of Walkman device, I have tried but at times I have needed to shut the world out. And I was one of the first to buy one, then a discman, then a discman with speakers which I still use in the bedroom although the my laptop is now the main source.

Interesting. Although anyone who plays music (on an instrument) knows that the difference between listening to pre-recorded music and listening to live music is night & day. You really can't even compare the two. I like having my Discman with me, yes....it made the train ride across Ireland (soundtrack from The Royal Tennenbaums) exquisite. But I don't get used it it and equate it with when I see live music.
It's a big world. There's room for just about everything.
