It's interesting you brought that up. A couple of nights ago, while at my job(pretty much 8 hour night shifts sitting in front of a PC playing video games and getting on tubular.net and ebay) I was remembering a time around 1984 when I was bored one night. I lived in a small town, but 17 miles away was a town of moderate size, San Marcos, where I went to the university there a couple of years prior. After driving around I found myself in a little porn theater. Not like a booth with quarters or tokens....but a small theater. Confortable seats, you could smoke in there, maybe other than tobacco and get away with it. Bring in your own "libations" discreetly. Don't try this in the 21st century, least-wise not in Texas. Me, I just had my Marlboros. Anyway, I watched this porn flick in this little theater and damned if the whole soundtrack wasn't Ommadawn in it's entirety. As the film bored me, I was enjoying the music most of all. But wondering, "hey, shouldn't I contact one of those addresses on the back of my Mike Oldfield records and tell them they've got a law suit here?" I never did of course, but all these years later, I guess tubular.net and my enjoyment of it, got me to thinking about it. I can't help but wonder how many old...OLD low budget movies of that era ripped MO music for thier soundtracks. Well, that's my Mike Oldfield minute for Feb. 3 2008. Tubularly yours,
Jim
