Random Thought for Thursday 2/5/15

Ummm ... isn't the phrase "like a broken record" somewhat anachronistic now?

I mean the younger generation laughs at music on a CD ... let alone a cassette ... or an 8track ... or a ... well ... record.

Maybe the DJ community can keep the phrasing meaningful for just a little bit longer, so as to not confuse the kiddies.  Or maybe we should just change it now to "like an iPod that won't shuffle".

[*These* are the things that occupy my mind ...]
