By the way, when I facetiously mention
"the twenty-nothing and thirty-
nothing generation that has hardly even heard of
[EP]," I am certainly not implicating literate
grad students like Erin T. but rather the whole
[de-]generation of audiophilic, bibliophobic
digerati who are more likely to learn via the
Net--which is our current substitute for
Authority and even God--than from old-fart, my-
generational media like paper.
