Elsewhere in the world of what is alleged to be music, an ad-blurb copywriter gets excited because FIVE TUNELESS BANDS HAVE RACKED UP SALES!!!!!
Okay flack, let's add up your numbers -- 271,563 + 464,559 + 453,488 + 283,331 + 269,338 =
1,742,279. Knowing how the record mafia inflates numbers that's still very much less than ten percent of what WACKO supposedly did with his "MASTERPIECE" -- and most of these prematurely deaf fans buy multiple albums. I'm IMPRESSED.
And a special NEUHARTHISM OF THE WEEK AWARD for the finger-calisthenics practitioner who typed: "DON'T KNOCK THE ROCK: CD SALES SURGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" You have a future -- only we hope it isn't in the NEWS BIZ.
