What's playing on the stereo?

Earth, Wind, and Fire--Greatest Hits: I'm sorry, but I dig the hell out of old-school soul and funk. This CD was in heavy rotation at my job last summer, along with "Mer de Noms" by A Perfect Circle. EWF just kicks ass...and they write great songs.

Back in 1994, when I did my first tour of duty in retail, I was a customer service manager. One Sunday afternoon, one of my cashiers received a phone call:

syc: "I'm sorry but (cashier's name) is unavailable to take a call right now. Can I take a message?"

other person: "Sure. Would you just let (cashier's name) know that I got an extra ticket for the Barry White show tonight and I wanted to see if she wanted to go..."

syc: "Oh shit! Wait a minute..."

At first my cashier said she didn't know if she wanted to go. I was like, "Are you crazy? Barry White is the MAN! You have to go to that show!" At that point, she probably thought I was a lunatic, which is half-true.

I might break out the P-Funk shortly...
