“Without Music, Life Would Be a Mistake”

I have had problems with my stereo, which I bought about twenty years ago. Today, I tested it with several cassettes, and it just will not play; Fast Forward and Rewind work, but when I press Play, not only is there no music, but the wheels don’t turn the tape at all.

I may have to head to Radio Shack to buy a replacement, and this time, since I’m more prosperous, I’ll splurge on a more expensive model which can play both cassettes and those newfangled compact disks.
