where do they find the time, or indeed the stamina, to listen to them?
They don't. They just magically 'feel better' owning them. I once estimated how much of my music collection I actually listen to: 5% is probably a massive over-estimate. It's almost literally a form of madness... |

I spend a lot of time in the car! |

To be fair if a track comes up I don't fancy listening to I flip to the next |

Like? Sweet lord, I didn't realise we had to like the stuff we carry around with us like a lead weight...I need to look at my collection in a whole different light now (maybe that's the advantage of digital only)  |

It's very pleasing news, but after a brief wobble I think I've decided to leave things where I left them after the Ratdog tours in 2002/03, which were exquisite. I don't have the money or the patience for this... |

First reaction on seeing this news - fantastic
Followed by - b*gger, I'll be in Spain
Then - oh, it's an orchestral show, ok, not too down about missing it.

I have to agree with David and Paul, on all points. (Except Spain; Egypt for me on that date.  ) |

Less than I thought actually with over 11k songs. That's not counting my vinyl though. I still need to convert that and there's a lot of it! |

Nice that Phil's bass and his genes found their way onto the D&C 60th celebrations stage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc9iOGYzzhUDead and Company ft. Graham Lesh - Box of Rain 8-1-25 San Fran GD60 |
