I feel sorry for kids these days. They do not know the pleasure of the 45 RPM record. They do not understand the thrill of buying a hit and finding a song on the flip side that gets as much or more play time as the hit. They do not know, in this day of pay-per-track that they should be getting two songs for the price of the one. It’s the law. Or should be. I am sure that asshats at corporate chuckle every time us idiots order a song, knowing that they are shortchanging us. Yep, we used to get two songs. Like I said, it was the law. Labels and distributors, though, write their own laws these days. I know I’m a dinosaur, but anything less than two is a fuck you to us music junkies. Well, fuck them.

Yep. Braindead again. After struggling for four days and working my way through four— count ’em, four starts, I find myself without a column and already an hour past deadline. How do these things happen, I keep asking myself, but they do and when they do I wish I was drinking again. Back in the old days, if I couldn’t get something down in a certain period of time I would pop a cold one and before the six-pack was done, I didn’t care anymore so I would type until it looked like there were enough words (or I couldn’t see the keys anymore) and would hit ‘send’ and to hell with it, you know?
