| For the two or three of you who follow my column in the Preview section of The SUN, I will not be writing a “Desert Island” disk piece. Too obvious, done to death and no there, there. At least not for a column.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the whole “Desert Island” concept, I spelled it out in this column — go read and return refreshed, we’re not going anywhere.
And while I maintain that “Desert Island” disks aren’t column-worthy, I think I can blog about single disks, from time-to-time, those sides I’d take with me if I was shipwrecked and alone, just me and some provisions and a magical boom box that runs off solar power or the lifetime supply of batteries that washed up on shore along with me, my CDs and my CD player.
Rules of the game: No compilations or “mixed disks” or multiple sets (unless originally released as a double- or triple-disk set). Choose carefully, the 10 disks will be all you get to listen to for the rest of your life.
When our Internet returns (fingers thumping loudly on my desk), I’ll start a thread on our “Talk About” discussion board so you, dear readers, can post your own selections and participate in the game.
And, with our Internet down, I can’t access the Web to write a cogent blog post on any of my own selections... so you’ll have to wait for those.
I can tell you what will NOT be among my selections (aside from the obvious Huey Lewis or Boys II Men): No Beethoven Symphony No. 9 or much of anything by the Beatles (since I can, almost to a note, hear those in my head).
You’ll just have to wait for the first on my list ...
