The Record Executive rises up and his voice thunders across the pub “ I WILL PROVE MY GREATNESS TO YOU. Beer is squirting out noses, people are peeing in the aisles. The giggles turn to laughs and the laughs to guffaws. “and I’ll do it without putting it in a record store for the first six months from release date.”Īs you can imagine, the crowd is overwhelmed with disbelief – then the giggles start. “Kid, let me tell you something,” he says, serious as a triage nurse, “I can sell more copies of that song than has been sold in the history of horror movie theme songs.” The room goes silent. “Oh yeah?” one pipes up, “well I bet you can’t sell even ten more copies of that old Tubular Bells Part 1 song from 1973.” The room explodes with laughter, but the Bad Guy isn’t laughing – in fact he’s got that serious look of a drunk who doesn’t get the joke… The others snicker – they know the exec has had his pint or two but think they’ll tease him just a bit. In my imagination the executives at Virgin Records are sitting at the pub after work one day and one evil executive says to the others “I am the greatest record executive of all time!”
