Yeah, Village Music was very cool. Your anecdote about Greg Kihn makes me
want to start a new thread: "Well-known musicians who we saw work behind a
counter at a record store". I'll go first (well, second, since you started
with Mr. Kihn at Rather Ripped):
1. Syd Griffin worked at Rhino Records in LA for a time during the '80s.
2. R. Stevie Moore worked for many years (and maybe still does) at a record
shop in Northern New Jersey-Stewart, please forgive me for forgetting the
name. :-)
Anyone else?
David
