Tower Records Closing

Well, another big music retail store goes under. This is really sad, as Tower Records was very influential in the sale of music. You can still see footage of crowds lined up at the late hours getting Metallica's Black Album or Guns N Roses Use Your Illusion I and II. It is really a shame as these buildings will either remain vacant or a Starbucks will replace them. Tower records could have avoided this demise by simply lowering their prices instead of charging 18.99 for a CD when it is 12.99 at Best Buy. Only the true Music purists would pay 6-7 dollars more just to buy their CD at Tower. Hopefully some other music retailer will open in the current Tower Stores.
