Pay $13-15.00 for a single selection of music vs the old $0.00-$2.00 for

Have you looked at home much inflation there has been since the $2 single?

$2 in 1960 dollars equals $13.60 in 2006 dollars
$2 in 1965 dollars equals $12.80 in 2006 dollars
$2 in 1970 dollars equals $10.40 in 2006 dollars
$2 in 1975 dollars equals $ 7.50 in 2006 dollars$
$2 in 1980 dollars equals $ 4.90 in 2006 dollars

We forget home much less the buck is worth these days.
