I remember seeing that ad in National Geographic, I think. My dad has susbcribed to the magazine since the 70s.

Me too. But I cant find that issue. Do you remember the issue number?

I can't, no. I just remember going through some old 80s and 70s NG magazines in the mid 90s, and suddenly stumbling on to this ad. I think it was on the back, but I can't remember. This was just as my Williams fandom was taking off, so I was quite surprised, to put it mildly.

Since there's no mention of  TESB, or ROTLA (and who would want to mention DRACULA or 1941?), I think azahid is right.

Hats off to @Cerebral Cortex!!

 

I was just trying very hard not to laugh out loud because I'm in school, surrounded by people who would probably look at me funny.

 

Fuck 'em, Will, and laugh your head off!

Japan is also the only country which had an official JW fanclub, if I'm not mistaken.

 

JW even wrote a short fanfare for that club....

 

Are you joking?

You know how to google, right? Don't ask stupid questions.

 

This is generally known among JW fans....

I'll let Will speak for himself, but I believe he only discovered the music of Williams in a serious way in the past couple of years.  I'm a firm believer in the "there are no stupid questions" credo

Dude, what the hell?  Try being welcoming to newer fans instead of insulting them.  You didn't just suddenly know everything, we depend on other fans to learn this stuff.

:up:

It's no way to treat any fan (new or old) for such an innocent question.

Josh this is an incredibly rude post by you.  Will did nothing wrong.  I hope you are just having a bad day and don't think this is a proper way to act.

Rude? Maybe. But there are worse things, right on this forum.

 

Yeah, but you're right,  I'm having a bad day.

If I'm going off of the top 3 results Google gave me for such a query, I'd say that Will came to the best site to ask such a question.

Well, to be fair, the fourth result is the Japan one... ;)
