I remember the days when I was young when a new album by a favorite artist was released. I was not the type to wait in line in front of the stores. Chances are, the store near where I lived probably wouldn’t stock the album until a week later, anyway. I would have to plan my week so that I could get to the store during the work week to buy the album. But today, March 3rd, the day that the new U2 album is released, all I have to do is buy the download from Amazon.com MP3 site from the comfort of my own home and all for a very reasonable price of $3.99. 7 of the 11 songs have now downloaded. Instant gratification indeed.
