They didn’t steal it, one person BOUGHT it and copied it for a friend. Little different than using a VHS recorder/player to record a TV show to watch later, or using a reel-to-reel or cassette recorder to save a song playing on the radio.
My brother taped me U2’s “Rattle and Hum.” First U2 album I heard. After that, I bought The Joshua Tree, The Unforgettable Fire, War, October, Achtung Baby, AND Rattle and Hum on vinyl. I don’t think us “stealing” the 1st one cost them any money.
I’m slowly working through my boxes of cassettes, playing them 30 minutes at a time while on my treadmill. So many good 70’s tunes, they still sound good 50 years later. And the tapes have survived in remarkedly good shape too!
JB says he eventually paid back the mini-mart – sorta. Arlo, just go buy either his last album “Life on the Flip Side”, which I think is one of his best, or his final album just about to be released, “Equal Strain on All Parts”.
I went to the Margaritaville bar in Key West. The restroom was up some stairs. At the landing halfway up there was a sign that said, “Restroom 6 Miles”.
The “Blue Bloods” reruns ran, out of order, the episode in which Jimmy Buffet appears as himself and as someone impersonating him as remembrance to him.
I made up for him. I bought three copies of all of Jimmy’s CDs, one for the car, one for the office and one for home. So that I had it available wherever I was!

Back in the day I had a double cassette recorder and I would make an extra copy of my cassettes to have music to play in the car.

But will he ever hear them again? Does he still have a cassette player?

I’d like to think that Heaven is Jimmy’s “One Particular Harbor”.

I was wondering when we would get a Jimmy Buffett tribute on Arlo and Janis.

What’s with Janis’ bedroom eyes in panels three & four?

Copying a thing isn’t “stealing.” Stealing means the owner has one less of the item left. Copying means there’s one more in the copier’s possession.
