May. 24th, 2009 10:40 amSince it came up in conversation last night...
Years ago I worked in Amazon.com's auctions department. Amazon decided they needed an auctions department, and they were going to do it by jamming a batch of underpaid temps into a conference room on the 10th floor. Now that I think of it, it was kinda nice, that we all co-operated on bringing in music to listen to and taking turns playing what we brought. At one point I brought in some Ramones.
One of my co-workers was still in high school, and this was like nothing he'd ever heard before. You could see from the facial expressions that he was trying to figure out whether he liked the Ramones or absolutely hated them. Eventually he asked something like, "Who are these guys?"
A different coworker said, "The Ramones. You know how people say that you have to do pot to really understand Led Zeppelin?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, with the Ramones, it's glue."
