I sold a fifties Hamilton watch in perfect working condition to an eBayer. About five days after the guy received the watch, he threatened a claim to PayPal and a return, if I didn't agree to a $300 "adjustment". It needed repairs I missed. No package damage. No proof of damage. I just paid the $300 because it was a 4K deal. He was full of shit. I'm certain of it. I should have kept the damn watch.

Becase there was nothing wrong and he didn't want to ship it back when you didn't bend to an attempt to extort a better deal.

Please do. For the children...

Do I even need to say it?

A buddy was working in a studio (I believe it was Prince's) in Minneapolis around 1985. Every so often he'd make the trip back to Madison. One time he handed me a tape and said to let him know what I thought. I listened and was kinda 'meh' about it, gave it to my nephew. Two years later GNR 'burst' onto the scene with that album - Appetite for Destruction. The way I understood it - and always thought it was funny - was that the band had already broken up by then, and had to be reassembled because their 2-year-old record just took off. Axhole Rose always sounded like a cat with it's tail caught in a door. This Myles Kennedy guy can sing. I'm pleasantly surprised. And Nate - I love you man, but lumping Bob Plant in with AR is blasphemy. You should be beaten with every inch of his love.

Because I can. I'm pretty good at it. You can look at a person's posture. Their demeanour. How they sit. How they interact with others and interviewers. I usually give someone 30 seconds face to face. That's all I need to decide if they are honest and humble. or IF. I go about a minute, face to face; 30 words on the HFC.
