for episode 110, I’ve chosen to reflect upon the 487th anniversary of the death of Sir Thomas More, beheaded on this day in 1535 for his refusal to accept King Henry VIII as the head of the Church of England. From one great humanist (More) to another (me), it’s difficult to reconcile that Sir Thomas was the same age as me upon his execution, however there is some solace in knowing he died doing what he loved (refusing to accept King Henry VIII as the head of the Church of England). And were I to keel over this very moment, i too, would perish doing what I truly love — playing records that would be hard to distinguish from the sound of the house’s HVAC system were the former not plastic, round and in some instances obscenely expensive. To all of my friends and frenemies, as More would surely advise were his head attached , PROTECT YA NECK (and protect the Necks, while we’re at it)
