i'd throw up if i had to work for Benson (back in the day
when it was Benson). i don't remember anything of worth
on that label... :)
i sent out about 10 resumes to all my old music reps when i
was graduating, but only got calls for some lame a/r clerk-
type jobs (no offense if anyone is an a/r clerk). i'd still
like a job down there- maybe for the music industry, but
maybe not. maybe a cool upshoot, non-CCM-crap label. maybe
my 2 years of public accounting experience would help me get
a real accounting job now... maybe i need to start looking
when my apartment lease gets closer to ending... :)
ya know, a job for ASCAP or BMI (which have offices in nashv)
wouldn't be bad. hmmm...

the fakey-types are the funnest... :) down during GMA week
is when all of them come out to play. they're easy to spot
and easy to laugh at... IMO... :)

yeah... hey, Bryan Ward, are you lurking? :)
actually one of my coolest reps (who's now a VP of a sub-
division label on Chordant) was one of the people who kept
mentioning OtR to me... i got into them about a year later.
so, there are some cool people there... thanks, Bryan. :)
