Whats on your turntable tonight?

Russ and Rush-
I hope the two of you are happy. All this talk of "Mendelssohn in Scotland" Speaker's Corner reissue caused me to come home from work and spin it.

I had originally planned to put on a guilty pleasure and give Michael Jackson's "Thriller" a listen.....

Ah, see what an aesthetically pleasing evening we enticed you into? Good we don't leave you to your own devices. :-)

Rush, I believe we saved his soul!!

My 12 year old wanted to hear it. Even though "Thriller" was released 15 years before she was born, it still has an impact. Kids of her generation like the title track. My soul remains intact and dedicated to the classical genre.... ;)

The biggest selling LP of all time at 50 million copies, and after yesterday, likely to sell many, many more.

We're just pulling on your chain, Joe. As I'm sure you know. ;-) Michael Jackson was a supreme entertainer. For all his personal tragedy, his accomplishments in the music industry are to be respected. Even I have a copy of Thriller (and "Off the Wall" and "Bad"). He's part of our late 20th C culture.
