Re: Lincoln, Nebraska (we need a travel forum)
Yeah the four local ones I visit all have owners who think they are hot shit because they own a record store. I'll ask if they are getting a specific record in, and they'll do shit like *chuckle* "no". Fuck you dude, I've owned records since the 80's, you weren't even born until after CDs came out.dad wrote:sounds like most record store owners.Strat wrote:That's not true.
