The greatest scam the music industry ever pulled off — well, hmm, one of the top 12 scams the music industry ever pulled off — CDs drained the wallets of a generation, starting in the later half of the early ’80s, with almost no tangible or long-term benefit. (Except when Prince released “Lovesexy” in 1988 and it was all one track and you couldn’t skip songs. That was awesome.) A very few CDs became cool dresses, and the rest became coasters and trash. And an entire generation learned to never trust again. — Choire Sicha
