Revivals and returns

posted in economy, music |

Forget time travel as an unnecessary expense. Just wait for a few years, and the past will get a “do over” in the future. Perhaps an inspiration from video games…

Anyhow, thanks to CBC, I’ve been put on notice that Black Sabbath are reforming for a tour. Obligatory picture from “Now”

Black Sabbath redux

Just like it was yesterday. Listening to the church bells ring. Iron Man; nothing to do with the comic book and everything with my latent urge to forsake my drums and adopt a bass. No, I don’t listen to the album often, but I do own it in both vinyl and CD (quality may have degraded over the decades). I doubt they’ll be coming to my town, but the kids of today can learn that hip hop is just a phase. Sabbath is timeless.

A consumer group has raised the ugly subject of what to do when you don’t like your online purchase. You didn’t get  a chance to squeeze the Charmin’, and the website image isn’t exactly as shown. Our consumer protection laws don’t give you much to help, either. Sometimes you can convince the online merchant to accept a return, but you’ll still have to pony up for the shipping fees. (Educated hint: check with couriers such as Dicom. They rock!). I haven’t bought clothes online, yet, but reading the article on the CBC website won’t encourage me. Maybe the industry (money machines are industrial, too) should consider that the customer is right. After all, if you discourage the limited pool of consumers here in the great, soon to be white, North you’ll find the list of prospective shoppers to be severely limited.
