violachicThere are these two employees at my local Borders. Or at least there were last time I was hanging out there with any regularity, which was when I had money, which wasn't particularly recently.
Anyway.
They're really cool people. They would bend over totally backwards for me to get me what I needed. Eddie once spent an hour and a half tracking down a song for me. Not a CD, but a song. And Josh was always looking out for books he knew I'd be interested in. Actually, it was funny- once I realized my money was draining more quickly than it was coming in, Josh but an ordering ban on me. He told me he wasn't ordering anything else for me until I had a net worth. I still don't have a net worth. But that's not the point.
I love those guys, and I trust them. They picked up on my taste almost immediatly, and were great for finding me CDs and books and movies and everything. I trusted them
Except I now have a bone to pick with them.
I had heard someone at an open mic night do a Rusted Root song. Unbelieveably enough, I had never heard of Rusted Root (yes, I had a sheltered childhood). I really liked it. So I went back to Borders and asked Josh and Eddie about them. They said, and I quote, Rusted Root is a "pre-Dave Matthews Band, Dave Matthews Band". So I didn't worry too much about that, because 1)I can't stand Dave Matthews Band, and 2)I couldn't afford to buy a CD anyway.
But now I realize something.
I REALLY LIKE RUSTED ROOT!
I'm gonna have to go kick some Borders heinie.
