For the rest of us, it's an opportunity to see and hear some of our favorite stars. But other than live performances, what music do we listen to? Gone are the simple days of the Victrola, the home stereo system, and the Walkman. With the demise of record stores and the advent of digital sound, music fans have a dizzying array of choices as to where they get their music and how they listen to it.
The cold war era may be a thing of the past, but the cold weather refuses to go away. Winter ends on March 19 and as far as most people are concerned, they wish it would end right now.
