Though my priorities have changed completely, music still continues to be one of my most favorite hobbies. My amusement of loud music in a car simply could not happen if changes in technology didn't happen in 1877. From there, Rolling Stone has pointed out numerous ways that it has snowballed and eventually made its way to the twenty-first century (Herzog). Had these wonderful inventions never succeeded, 2007 would've been easy to forget. However, Santa brought me a black 32 GB Ipod and I'll never forget that specific Christmas.
I'm too much of a cheap skate to pay for Spotify (and if I was willing to pay I'd like get Apple Music), but it is amazing how Ed Newton-Rex points out how we don't choose the music we listen to; Your music chooses you (Newton-Rex). Spotify and other music channels such as "Songza" can put together a playlist for you based on your surroundings instead of old-fashioned seeking out music by buying an album (Newtox-Rex) from FYE, Hot Topic, Target, Best Buy, etc.
Meanwhile, my favorite place to go eat after I went to a concert was In-N-Out. The affordable quality burger brings back many memories. According to Todd Starnes, In-N-Out donated $25k to the California Republican Party and many Democrats are unhappy about it. The chairman of the California Democratic Party called for a boycott (Starnes). I am an Apple and Amazon fanatic, and though I don't support leftist causes like these big-name companies, my business is still regularly persuaded by the convenience and products that they supply. I don't think a boycott is necessary, but hey, that's just me.
