Sinister: once again i have the answers

[Timothy Roberts]

yeah, on the dilemma of wether to work in a record shop you should look to
gordon legge, he is real.

"That night, they opened up, they shared their dreams. In turn, they
fantisised about putting their knowledge into words or owning record shops;
but, like when they were young, they only ever fantasised about it. Although
they now had the talent and the financial clout to make it happen, they
didn't want to be involved. Partly this was because it would break the rules
of their friendship, but mostly it was because they realised they were still
what they'd always been- they were fans. It was for this reason that none of
them- excepting Ray's brief flirtation- had ever pursued the performing
side: they didn't want to be stars, they wanted to have stars. In the same
way that, by and large, folk don't want to be Gods, folk want to worship
Gods.
And so things continued."
from Pop Life.

okay, now ive found the book and looked up the passage it doesnt seem quite
so apt, but i think that there is advice to be gleaned from it anyway, for
everyone, as every word that gordon legge writes is TRUTH. i recently
realised on rereading The Shoe that i have been subconciously living my life
by that book for about the past two years. i have not yet decided wether
this is a good or bad thing.

from tjohn, who applied for a job in the new hmv in aberdeen when it opened,
and wasnt even offered an interview. ha! wouldnt work there if they paid me.
which im led to believe is the standard procedure.
