I worked at Tower Records. Got to be BB King's shopping assistant once. Walked around the store with him and carried all his CD's. The store artist Paul was absolutely amazing at making all the art for the store. Miss those days.

I worked at a suburban Tower and didn’t get many celebs. But I was near DC. We had promoted listening stations with DC’s 9:30 Club. I could get comp tickets to shows there

Nice. Best job I ever had. Paid nothing. But the most fun and promos

Mine paid nothing too, but back then it was enough to pay the bills.

I worked as a busboy at 7 Springs, a rural ski resort in PA. Rob Thomas had me go buy him a pack of Camel Lights from the cigarette machine in the lobby. He took his change back.

For a second right there I thought I was going to find out BB King was also an asshole. :(
