...The One-Minute Pundit

We don't know what LALA gains from spinning show-biz news. It's not as if movee excreters are advertising more in newspapers. And when last did a record company buy any LALA space? No, despite that ALL-TIME HIGH!!!!! routine designed to assure the moguls yes, LALA's on THEIR side (which means not being on OUR side -- but when was a newspaper ever on OUR side?), the best that can be said is the growth rate of recorded...SOUND purchases is slowing -- and more people are buying singles, NOT albums, and even our reluctant typist must admit to that. And PVT. ZELL's legions can spin it until the head of every last LALA hack spins off like a dreidel, but people are buying less recorded...SOUND than they used to, and there's a reason for that, a reason that will NEVER appear in LALA.

And of course to say ALL-TIME HIGH!!!!! LALA, like the good sycophant it is, counted singles as UNITS, just like albums. Some hacks just don't want us to trust them.
