Well, I renewed my Wall Street Journal subscription in July, but issues about Rupert Murdoch aside, I appeared on the local Fox affiliate’s newscast on Friday. Fox 11 WLUK-TV of Green Bay did a segment on their Friday 5 p.m. newscast about the 25th anniversary of the CD. The first CD was released in August 1982. View the video.
I happened to be in the Exclusive Co., a local record shop, around noon or so on Friday. The Fox crew – reporter Evan Perrault and a cameraman – were recording interviews with employees and customers alike. I happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I was looking at the vinyl selection and Evan came over and asked if I preferred vinyl or CDs to digital downloads. I said something about digital downloads being somewhat ephemeral – easy to accidentally delete or lose – compared to the physicality of vinyl and CDs.
Evan used a brief clip of my comments – I didn’t get my name on the screen but still! I was on TV! For a couple of seconds!
For your viewing pleasure, WLUK has placed that segment online. Check it out!
