This is kind of ironic reflecting the death of Tower Records.
Did anyone contact me for Tower Records video footage? No. (I have a ton).
Did Tower Records take me seriously in 1997 when I set up meetings to explain why online sales and MP3s were a serious threat to brick-and-mortar stores? No - I was told MP3s were for geeks and called an 'opportunist' and sent home.
Russ Solomon is an awesome individual and I love him a lot, but the people he surrounded himself with were major-label lackeys that could not see why folks would not want to buy CDs at $18.99 a pop and computers were stupid.
