So please, go through your music collections and your closets and find things that are collecting dust. So many of us have upgraded our music players and lost interest in things we used to listen to. I think it would be okay to donate burned cds and mixtapes too. ask your friends to donate stuff. Ask local stores to donate stuff. Maybe you don't have a cd player but maybe you could spare $10 to send a gift card. Ask bands you know to donate some of their albums. Ask record labels to make donations.
I can't imagine being a teenager and going through tough times without my music.
And I am just imagining having my cat die without listening to Sting. Or being too shy to talk to Ed without being able to listen to Debbie Gibson. Or being pissed off about having to clean my room without having a GnR cd to throw stuff around to. Or driving around aimlessly without the Violent Femmes. Or ending a fight with my brother without blasting Metallica.
Imagine losing your home, all of your possessions, and members of your family, some of your friends...and just sitting in a strange place. Being told you can't go back AT LEAST for 2 months, but maybe FOREVER.
It might help a little to put on some headphones and escape.
So please help in any way you can. Feel free to donate money too. This way if Sheila and her friends meet anyone with a request for an album they are desperate to own again they can go get them a copy.
Awesome. Thanks everyone.
