Obsolete Entertainment: New Museum Honors 8-Track Tapes

One man's trash is another man's treasure, and for Dallas-based music historian Bucks Burnett, his treasure is 8-tracks. Burnett, a lifelong music collector, has been hunting and gathering 8-track tapes since 1988, which just happens to be the year they were phased out of use altogether. "Although 1982 was the last year they were sold in stores, they were sold in mail order record clubs until 1988," Burnett told AOL News. "I never was interested in them until 1988, because they started to have that exotic quality." Robert Greerson On Monday, Bucks Burnett will fulfill a longtime ...

Meghan McCain Won't Comment on Sarah Palin

Monday Morning Clacker has an interview with would-have-been first daughter Meghan McCain, the young woman who, like the Romney 5 before her, merged personal revelations with campaign messaging in a way not previously seen in America. While the interview shows Ms. McCain to be a likable, somewhat idiosyncratic person (most notably for her love of Wonderbra creator and Marylin Manson ex, Dita von Tesse), the real news generated from this interview resulted in the one subject on which she refused to offer up an honest opinion: Sarah Palin. Here's the exchange: So, no comment on the selection of ...
