I had to read it years ago. it was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Instead of complaining about how things have changed for the worse, it'll help you realize that change is inevitable. and those that don't keep re-evolving and striving for new ways/sounds will end up being yesterday's news. how you interpret that "change" or moving of the "cheese" is up to the reader though.
