“Sven's actual results on the park were not quite good enough to make him a hero, and not quite bad enough to get him the sack, so he left the gentlemen of the press with something of a void.

So I think that era, those pieces of media, I keep in my collection.” ThinkingImportantStuffRecordsPiecesMediaIndustryLawyerAgentsManagersLabelsErasCollectionsMusic IndustryArchivesRecord Labels Author:Ian MacKaye
