Voltaire?

Your Voltaire quote is incorrect, and a commonly made misattribution.

In fact, believe it or not that 'quote' comes from a 1993 radio broadcast by a little-known American racist, Kevin Strom, and not Voltaire. Look up Kevin Strom on Wikipedia for verification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Alfred_Strom).

I regularly have to correct people on this. You are not alone, even some prominent professors have mistakenly proclaimed this as fact, which I find highly amusing.

But no, Voltaire did not say that. He should have, though.

Because regardless of who said it, the fact remains that it is basically a true statement.......

Oh, and Tower Records was a major source of happiness for me growing up in Los Angeles in the 60's and 70's, especially Tower's "Classical Annex" on Sunset Boulevard.

"Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days...... "
