very simple

The compact disc is 25 years old today.  And in the hard-learned lesson of “never let your ten year old brother buy your first CD,” The first CD I ever owned was “Pump”, by Aerosmith.

And yes, I still own it – “Janie’s Got a Gun” is an awesome song.  I don’t care what anyone else says.

(To be fair to myself, I didn’t actually “let” my brother do anything – the CD player was a gift from my parents for my 16th birthday, and so they had my brother give me a CD as a gift so that I’d actually have something to listen to).
