You bet! Hell I'm even PO'ed at LPs! But I do not *live* in the past, I simply try to serve the past as best I can. However, just try to get young guys interested in 78s these days!

And that's like theatrical film exhibition, nearly a relic in the "art" field. It's sad, but again I do try to do my bit to save it by attending whenever anything good is on display. And face it, some of the best are still not in home release and never will be, but if video manages to kill the art houses... well...

Finally I always like to say, since 1986 I have been the only boy with a VCR who's never rented a tape! Nor, with one exception, when I was trapped, do I view them on TV. Films are created for the theatre and I shall continue to watch them there.
