Time to throw away your VCR: VHS is officially dead!

VHS was the my gateway drug. If it wasn’t for the format, I never would have been bitten by the film bug. You see, living in Firebaugh the closest movie theater was in Fresno and rare was the trip we’d make into “town” to go check out a flick. Hence the VCR was my crack pipe, the video store my pusher, and my addiction was film. So although the technology is archaic compared to DVD, Blu-Ray & digital download, I still appreciate it for what it did for me. So when I caught this story from the LA Times about the last VHS distributor saying this would be the end for the fabled format, I was kinda sad to hear about it’s uncerimonious death. I will never forget the great adventures my VCR took me on and I owe it all to the VHS format. LONG LIVE VHS! Let us know your VHS stories, likes & dislikes (Rewind fees?! SRLY?!) or whatever else you remember about pur old friend!
