I was reading my bi-weekly indulgence in the shape of a magazine called, RollingStone (you may have heard of it.)

In the March 5th issue, even though the annoying Ms. "Cry for me, my boyfriend sucks" Taylor Swift is gracing the cover, I found a real revelation within the pages.

Page 28 features a little Q&A with Stevie Nicks. Now, you may be asking what a washed-up hot mess like her has to offer me, but contrary to belief, she does.

In it she says the following: "The internet has destroyed [the record business.] I miss buying an album and lying on the floor for three days and going over it with a magnifying glass. I still go to the record store and spend hours there and buy a big bag of CDs. I don't have a computer or a cell phone, because I don't want to be available to anybody. I'm all about mystery. Little girls think it's necessary to put their business on MySpace and Facebook, and I think it's a shame."

Now... Let's dissect this, shall we?

1. I completely agree that life is all about mystery. I think there should still even be mystery within you and your closest friends, maybe even your spouse. I hate it when people lay out their entire lives for everyone to see, and not only on profile sites, even. It's completely unnecessary. I think people share too much these days, and there are just some things in life that I don't really want to know about others. I think people take in more pleasure in not knowing every detail. I want there to be mystery within me, and I would like to believe that I live my life daily holding some things sacred and to myself. I don't think there is anyone out there that really knows everything about me. There's a lot people don't know about me. There are things no one knows, and that's how I like it.

2. The internet has completely ruined every single thing that was once sacred in music. I hate that now, when an artist puts out something new, we hear it way before a CD is even completed. Downloading music is all too easy now, and music should be respected a lot more than it is. I may be one of the few still around, and power to all who agree, but I love buying CDs and completely diving into what I have purchased. I think you really connect and appreciate an artist that way, instead of just downloading the one song that the radio is going to play to death in another week anyway.

3. Finally. I really like the ideals that she laid down about not wanting to be available to people, and in this, she refuses to have a laptop or a cell phone. I really applaud her for this. I hate how every second of our day can be found out by combining our AIM away message, our Facebook status, whose wall you wrote on, and what song is playing on your MySpace. It's kind of lame that everything is ruled by these internet devices too. People that think they need an iPod Touch or Blackberry because they can't leave their house without internet access have a bit of a problem, whether they want to admit it or not. And this, kids, is just one of the many things that are wrong with the world.

Now, Ms. Nicks' ideals are earth-shattering, but a lot of you will jump at my throat and call me a hypocrite. It's true; my cell phone is in my pocket everywhere I go, and I did just give my mother hell because she wouldn't keep up with our generation's technology by sending me a simple text message instead of calling me. And yes, I think it would be quite a challenge to live without my precious Facebook, but her viewpoints, all in all, I respect whole-heartedly. Keep things sacred.

I still will buy CDs though. You can't get me to budge on that.
