Recently,
The Audiophile went on a binge and read all the unauthorized biographies
on Van. Then he listened to all of his CDs. Well, not all of his CDs, because although
he owns all of Van’s CDs, it would take a short sabbatical and possible hip replacement to
actually listen to them all.
To add a visual element to the marathon, The Audiophile queued up a concert video from the
1980s. In this video Van was wearing a mustard-colored shirt and pants that were so
tight the audience was provided with sufficient anatomical information to enjoy both Van and his condiments.
On
the final day of the binge, I took a light lunch to The Listening Room to keep
The Audiophile alive, and he said, “Listen, listen, listen. Can you hear it? Can you hear the momentum of the music?” Um, I don’t know if I "heard the momentum" or not, but I can
definitely add that to the collection of recommended phrases for audio wives to
use in securing audio favor with their audio husbands.
And
that, my friends, is audio winning.
