Whatever happened to …
In the very distant past, somewhere in my youth or childhood, I took my obsessions seriously. This was before the creation of the interweb, so when I was seriously jonesing for information and other articles of fandom, I would scour bargain bins for used magazines, hunt through the dustier sections of bookstore shelves and, on occasion, correspond with like-minded individuals.
This is how I got my bootleg copy of The Black Album exactly when it was first “released” and then “recalled,” found the lyrics to the Star Trek theme and, well, amassed a mountain of LOTR-related paraphernalia. (Yes, this list does indicate the extent of my geekhood). Somewhere in my reading of the back pages of Rolling Stone, I picked up on a few other albums, including this gem that became one of my favorite albums of the next 5 or so years.
