Yeah, they were the heavier of the two pieces.
But...
We got back and Elliot said, did you hear any good music?
I said, yeah, check this out.
It's Human League.
And the next day he goes, if that music is ever a hit, I'll eat my hat.
And so I was like, okay, whatever.
And then about a month or two later.
He didn't wear a hat.
He was smart.
Yeah.
But after they became big, he said, hey, are there any other bands you think I should find?
Okay, so I said to him, yes, there's this band from San Francisco called The Residents.
You got to sign them.
They're great.
And so he did.
And he put the residents on a tour.
And I remember the first show was in Pasadena and they were doing their most extreme, hard to watch show of any of the shows they ever did.
And I remember about halfway through the show, he came walking up the aisle and he passed me and he goes, don't ever recommend another band to me.
You know, technology has totally turned everything upside down.
