FOR THE RECORD COLUMN:

TED MCLENDON

The scenario: A rather unfortunate turn of events has left you stranded on a remote island with nothing but the clothes on your back, your discman, and a five-year supply of Duracell batteries. Hey don’t laugh, it could happen.

In the last moment before the events that brought you to the island culminated, you salvaged a second to gather five CD’s. Which ones do you grab?

It may seem an easy decision at first, but think about it. Five years is a long time with nothing but you, the music, and perhaps a coconut or two for sustenance. What would you take along?
