+Thank Heaven for Used Record Stores!!!

I was just sitting around today, playing through some recent bargain bin finds and, as I was listening to Rare Earth's Willie Remembers, I had the thought that had the LP not been 25 cents, I never would have bought it, discovered, as it were, the band, and not have derived the joy I experienced in this Motown/Rock mélange. I had a vague awareness of this band but in the late 60's and early 70's I was too busy grooving to the Dead, John Fahey, and a bunch of other music to tune into this funky pop. It struck me that we all must have gaps, blind spots, and other areas of musical depravation that are just waiting for exposure and enlightenment. Had it not been for the used record store and my urge to crate dive, my life would be just a little less full. So thank G-d for used record stores! Anyone have similar experiences and realizations?
