    How does breaking records help your country?
    The elimination of bad music is a public service

    just having a little fun with you guys.....I don't believe or care about anything on the internet or in the media.....
    If that were true, the records would be intact.  
    I care about my country....
    So? Lots of people do. That’s got nothing to do with breaking stuff. 
    This sums it up.

    Most people look back on the era of book burning with distaste, not admiration.

    They were burning other people's books, not just their own...no?

    All those burned Beatles records sure did lead to the demise of their popularity. Changed the course of a nation too. Think I’ll go burn my American flag now.

    They burned books that others were "encouraged" to bring forward. Not so good for those who didn't bring them forward. They might not care about their country. 

    The presence of an uncensored book critical of some aspect of American life in the open collections of a U.S. library can do more than a thousand propaganda tracts to convince the doubting reader of the integrity of American goals and the candor with which American shortcomings are admitted.  Luther Evans, Librarian of Congress

    But while you're at it, do you see any material difference between someone burning a book because they believe it to be unAmerican, and someone breaking a record because they believe it to be unAmerican?

    After my 45 years on this Earth, and however many concerts, albums and cds I've owned and listened to, I firmly believe that Thunder Road has the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard.  They paint the most vivid imagery for me, and how I grew up on the near west side of Cleveland. And it's capped by that line to close.  But I digress... carry on with the book record burning.
