I like this kind of humor…

… which my old friend Jim Foster knows, which is why he brought it to my attention…

            Ah, I just found Thompson’s explanation of that:

            Of course, “popular” is a tricky word. A truly popular selection might include the likes of Greensleeves, I Gave My Love a Cherry, anything from the Sound of Music – perhaps people in large numbers don’t always have the best taste. I preferred to concentrate on songs that were deserving but slightly too arcane to be in every household; the also-rans, the misfits, the hidden jewels.

            OK. So really, it wasn’t supposed to BE a Top Ten list, even by his own standards. It was more of a snobbish attempt to impress with his deep knowledge of musical arcana. Like Barry in “High Fidelity”…

            I’d love to see a REAL Top Ten list of the millennium, compiled by someone who knows what he’s about. That would be worth seeing, and listening to…

              Just no sentimental tacky crap. Do we look like the kind of store that sells “I Just Called to Say I Love You”?

              Go to the mall.
