I worked at a radio station that still used them for a certain show host who <br />made a lot of money for the station so they let him continue to play all his commercials from disks. That was 20 years ago, once he retired the machines were donated to a museum. It was fun cutting the disks, the cutters were in a tiny little windowless closet where you felt you were stepping back in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-43867858647674218172009-04-20T21:46:00.000-04:002009-04-20T21:46:00.000-04:00Heh.

Many people fail to understand that today, I think. Not that I would object to being cursed with a few extra million dollars, mind you, but were I so cursed/blessed, it would be much harder for me to avoid building a house which was, in fact, too big and too complex for my needs.<br /><br />I have this pet theory about popular authors (John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Robert Heinlein, etc.) that is similar. When they are young, they are limited by editors, who tell them very bluntly that certain passages are boring and unnecessary to the story. They must also, when young, write quickly so as to be paid quickly enough to cover the mortgage check.<br /><br />These limits force them to release novels which are tight, concise, and very good. As they get older, more established, and more popular, the limits ease. Editors are by nature more intimidated by the super-popular author (and of course the author undoubtedly less receptive to criticism, ready to ask some idiot editor if HE has ever been on the bestseller list 25 weeks in a row). The authors have enough money to take their time on a book, enough time to write several utterly unnecessary scenes and subplots. The editors cut much less.<br /><br />The result (in my mind, at least for those authors I named above) is that the quality of the book decreases in proportion to the popularity growth of the author. The later works of Clancy, for example, are tedious affairs with WAY too many subplots built in.<br /><br />Just a theory.PatHMVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542719040606654134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-40628993475291691952009-04-20T12:46:00.000-04:002009-04-20T12:46:00.000-04:00Sorry - preview is you friend.
