I did point out that I'm all for new technologies getting our music to 
smaller places with no good record stores. I use Jackson as an example 
because it's literally the only place in the U.S we've never soundscanned 
a record (does anyone live in Jackson). I'm spoiled where I live with the 
sheer amount of good record stores, plus frequent business trips to NY to 
max out the credit card at Other Music. It's for the small places that 
we're working on better on-line ordering, etc... I more ment that I think 
it would be sad for a music fan in Manhatten to not go record shopping. I 
quite hope small town kids get beat up in school by raging Korn fans for 
wearing some 'pussy electronic label shirt'.
