Good ol' fashioned book burnin'

[Jim Westrich]

Well, I read about the music/video/book burning at a different source and 
the lists of CDs and vinyl burned made me think of a good old fashioned 
"spring cleaning" (Joe Walsh, Journey, Foreigner, Springsteen, REM, etc.).

Now I am in favor of "spring cleaning" but creating a large open bonfire is 
bad environmentally.
