I was offered a position in the music industry by a guy that worked for
Atlantic, as a scout.In retrospect I wish I had. The first time I viewed Madonna and U2, iI knew they would be huge. The guy from Atlantic would FedEx about 30 albums a month, asking for my opinion.

At the time I was trying to promote a new wave band that showed
considerable promise. This band was all but signed, when the guitarist (creative force
in the band) committed suicide. Broke and discouraged, with a high maintenance GF,
I worked for a movie producer. That was worse.
After 16 months, I went back to playing cards, burned out on that and settled back in the midwest.
