Reaching "The End"

Well, here it is, 2:30 p.m. Mountain Time on Friday, December 21, 2012 ... and the hype of the day is the Mayan calendar, and "the end."  And I'm still here, so far.

Come on, you knew it had to happen.  We're a civilization that loves hype.  We thrive on it.  Even when it involves "the end of the world."

We have fun with it.  When it comes to people like me -- music junkies like me -- we find music to go along with it.

It's all so predictable.
