Orville's Material World
Mix Tapes and Stuff featured characters that wanted material goods because material goods don’t hurt you. They collected things no matter how meaningless.
Then what?
The houses in Schuyler were only so big. Orville’s mother had commemorative plates and figures. She was going to run out of shelf space. Then those material things, that won’t hurt her feelings, will get tossed like nothing. How much happiness did they really bring?
There are modern lifestyle editors that say to throw things out every six months or so. That is a lot of money out the window. That’s a lot of landfill. If Orville bought a storage place, how often would anyone go there?
We thought that was the 1980s. The goal was to get as much as you can. Did that mentality really end?
