I was already watching podcasts on YouTube this morning, so I thought, "Why not call up this song that's on my mind?" To my surprise, it wasn't on YouTube. Granted, the artist isn't a household name, but other songs of hers are on that site. I also have her CD and imported it into iTunes years ago, so it isn't a Herculean task for me to hear it two other ways.
I reflected on how much I reflexively expect YouTube to have everything these days. I admitted to myself, "If there's a song I want to hear on that site, someone has to post it first."
As much as we might like to think things just fall into place magically, there's still a human component involved. There's something comforting about that, even when your song of choice isn't available.
