I know that I brought this fact up in the previous entry, but I thought it bore repeating in its own entry.
What $250 bought in 1987: In November 1987, for the cost of $250, The Cowboy Junkies recorded The Trinity Session at the Church of the Holy Trinity, using only a single microphone and the church’s acoustics.

What $250 will buy you in 2006: A plate of food at a sellout politician’s fundraising dinner, a live performance by one Cowboy Junkie and an opportunity to pee in the karma pool.

A buck also doesn't go that far in a music store either. I wonder if someone can do a comparison of minimum wage then and now with album prices then, and cd prices now.
I make a decent living now, but when I saw a $35 sticker price on a cd I wanted to buy the other day, I just had to leave. I ended up across the street, picking up a bunch of dvds for the same price.
