Finally, a museum devoted to the 8 Track

I couldn't make this up if I tried. And no this isn't something from The Onion.

Yep, a museum devoted to the 8 Track tape is opening next month in Dallas. As the museum motto says, "No track left behind."

Admit it: You've been waiting for this day for decades. I mean, who wouldn't want to celebrate a technology that, by design, interrupted music midsong to change tracks?

Museum "formatician" Bucks Burnett is proud to have a whole bunch of 500 shrinkwrapped copies of "The Rutles." I like The Rutles but am not sure it's something to brag about as a centerpiece of one's museum. I mean, I could imagine getting all giddy about a cache of 3 Dog Night tapes, something more befitting what actually got played on 8 Track players.
