RE: Random Thoughts
I never understood how both the "h" and "o" were silent in "Mahon".

I want to pronounce it "Ma-hone" every time I see it.

A big fat guy with large biceps and a huge gut came over my house today to fix some cabinets, he was very attractive.

What is the intended purpose of "greatest hits" compilations?

Putting the songs most people want the most to hear in one place.

Kind of cheapens the whole concept of putting out albums....

Wow, these comedians. I was watching retrospective video about SNL season 95-96 where they mentioned how David Spade made a joke about Eddie Murphy' career going sour by that time, calling him "a falling star", and then they edited in Murphy's reaction from the last year where you can hear how he is still hurt by that joke (30 years after). I mean the guy who makes fun of people can't take a fucking joke about himself.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

No, it really doesn’t. You put out albums that generate hits songs, then you lump the hits together. Smart business move.

Yeah, it's a way to sell albums to people who aren't followers of a band, but who do like the hits. It's also a way to generate interest in the rest of the band's catalog.

Absolutely you could. You could also collect vinyl, like the rest of us old farts. 

I’m just an analog guy in a digital world, I reckon. Smile
