Suffice it to say that the 1997 lubricant miss-match that caused a
chemical reaction resulting in hard sticky globules wrecking heads and
tape paths is absolutely true, even though denied whilst nevertheless
quickly corrected by Sony, Panasonic and their respective tape
manufacturing facilities. Some of us were actually there as opposed to
others whose faux urbane aplomb is redolent of the same urbane aplomb
that's responsible for so much misdirection and the socio-political
propaganda that has ironically resulted in the false wholesomeness
redolent of the socio-pathic demonic mindedness of the Good Ole Boys and
other Klu Klux Klan like reactionaries who whilst having aspirations to
murder on a genocidal scale actually have the diabolical gall to pretend
to being Christian, even though only of the cardboard cut out variety.
The duality of reality.
Sorry folks, I couldn't resist the invitation, but who wants to make the
documentary? ;-))
