Tower Records:the end of a Era

hard to believe that Tower Records is so far into debt that it is gonna close all of there stores. hard to believe that it is over. if you are a Kid from a era on File-sharing,down-loading,etc.... then Tower Records may as well be talking about the Cosby show or Leave it to Beaver because it's a whole different time period when running&I didn't say walking, i said running to the Tower Records to get that new Album, tape,CD or read Music related magazines or Books along with other things related to Music. I always got excited about going to Tower,but these days with the Circuit citys,Best Buys,wallmart,Target stores selling discs cheaper,Tower just couldn't keep up. Tower had artists full catelogs.it's a shame that the consumer doesn't have a say to save a Tower Records.I will miss going there. I even did some business on the internet through them,still it ain't the same as physically walking into the store&buying or viewing product. the reality of the down-sizing of music stores&things is fast becoming a reality. can't compete with with discount stores selling music&other things plus songs being sold through I-tunes&other services also as Ring tones.
