    I have the THIS IS YOUR LIFE album already but if I can get my hands on this new version, I’ll definitely buy it. It goes towards such a great cause.

    Unfortunately, I have to go a good way away to find a real record store. There just aren’t many left and that’s sad. The last one I went to that was two towns away from me that I loved went out of business a few months ago. Damn chain stores were the cause.
