WOW!! How cool!!

Ok, I'll admit to being out of it....I am assuming Zenny is Light on? But...why?!?

And for that matter---why "Windy" (think that is Come Back To Me)??

Thanks!!

Maybe it's just me, but I find it confusing to bring jargon (some of it pejorative) from another board over here, as the above post shows.

I am officially lost except for the fact that "Light On" is platinum - ?????

Marie,
No offense is meant by anything in my posts. I love "the dash" and it was my first DC home. I try to avoid confusion in my posts, but, alas, here, once you have posted a topic title, or subtitle, in this case, you cannot edit it. As for bringing over information from DCO, I do it with the best of intentions to keep D-C.org folks informed, using the best sources I have available to me. I have a RL job, etc., and there are just not enough hours in the day for me to gather all the data myself, as former posters on this board used to do. To my mind, the focus should be on the news not the jargon.

I am officially lost!!!

I'm truly sorry if you're lost, but, the ONLY important thing to know is that "Light On" is Platinum. Nothing else matters. Please, can we move on, and not continue to make this thread about my unfortunate mention of "Zenny" in a subtitle, which I cannot edit. Zenny is a nickname given to "Light On" at DavidCookOfficial.com (DCO). "Windy" is a nickname given to "Come Back To Me". "Magic Rainbow" is a nickname given to "The Time Of My Life". I gave the link above to the glossary for the Chart Thread at DCO, for informational purposes only. It is not important in the scheme of things here on this site. When it comes to the song nicknames, the why is really not important. By the way, did anyone notice that "Light On" is now Platinum?

[#1FaninAZ]

Yes, I did notice that and your right, that is what is important. Just felt like I was missing out on something I needed to know - I don't care where the information comes from. This is THE ONLY site I visit regarding David so I just want to make sure I didn't forget to read a post or something. Didn't mean to make you feel bad or anything. I appreciate all your efforts in posting articles/videos/pictures.

Hey Mary thanks for bringing over the news!!!


Platinum is a pretty color, no?

(And I have to admit, even though I do go to DCO a bit, I didn't know exactly why LO=Zenny, so thanks for the link as well. )

There's no video of the announcement yet.....

Thanks, Rachel. I was just going to post that. And, yes it's us who should be thanking David! I also wanted to let you know that I appreciate your kind words earlier (and those of Sharon and #1FaninAZ also). Here is the same video embedded:
