Can I Have My Money Back?

I wrote this piece in October of 1983 or 4 for the Los Angeles-based music magazine Music Connection. Note the disclaimer at the top. It was controversial! Note also that I named names.

Note also that I also correctly predicted the future when I wrote back then:

"Compact discs are not the future. They don't sound better than records and soon very few people will still have CD players."

The only mistake there was the word "soon". It took 30 years but today I can confidently state that "soon, very few people will still have CD players."

Also note: any resemblance between me at that time and Garry Shandling is purely coincidental.
