Tower is indeed the class act, and certainly the saddest to see go. It was a long-time coming, but I'm more than usually sad for their employees ... and I feel much more end-of-an-era than I have for any other failed commercial entity that I can recall.

That's just it ... with the entire brick&mortar music monopoly in the hands of price-gougeing Borders, I will likely never purchase a piece of music in the real world again. My 93% music internet purchases (or other means of acquisition) will climb to roughly 99% - - and an entire way of life will be gone forever.
