A reader of Entertainment Weekly wrote the following letter about their fiance’s obsession with digital music.
I used to wonder how my husband-to-be had more than 700 music CDs and more than 300 movie DVDs and hundreds and hundreds of record albums until I discovered that he had $43,000 in credit-card debt. In looking at his last bill (for one month) he had charged more than 8,000 iTunes at 99 cents each and had charges at places that sell music and movies, too. This guy made $45,000 a year. Called off the wedding. — Susan P.
What!?!?!?!? $8,000 dollars worth of music? In one month?!?!?!?!?!? Shnikies!
I felt bad over the summer when I bought 3 albums in one month. I cannot imagine what this guy purchased. He must have downloaded the Dylan Digital Box Set and the Complete Works of Menuto. Wow!
