What do you void listening?

Map, I had a hard time watching Gump, not a big fan of Hanks or satire either , if that's what it was ?
To me it just said ignorance is more honored in the USA than
anywhere else, sort of like that most American of sayings. "If you're so smart why aren't you rich" .

Ghosthouse, what are you sorry about? A bit of disagreement is good for the soul.

Thanks, Schubert. Re "Nessun Dorma," considered by many to be Pavarotti's signature aria, I have performances by both gentlemen in various compilation CDs. And while to me both performances are thrilling, it's remarkable how different they are. And like you I would have to say that Björling's is the more special.

What a shame that Björling died at 49, and that Luciano is no longer with us either.

This year Kiss was nominated at R&R Hall of Fame. I wish there could be R&R Hall of Shame.

Synthfreek,
Compare to your record store, sales of rock CDs and vinyls in my record store growing day by day and so is young white and black crowds visiting it. In my store Hip-Hop is dying and catching dust while rock records and CDs sell very well to all age and color groups. Besides that, Each rock, new wave CD or record brings more money at retail location than via internet by 25% in average.
