Do you like this band? Don't blow it

LOCATION: Work, New York City

YEAR: 2000

TAGS: Rusted Root, Work, Job Interviews

PUBLISHED: January 6, 2008

I suppose this is not the warmest memory, but in my old job capacity, I would routinely interview job candidates for various positions.

When it was my colleague Tori and I doing a joint interview, beyond the usual, routine questions and towards the end, especially if we liked the candidate we would ask with a smile, "And oh, do you like Rusted Root?" Now, there was only one real answer. Of course some people had no idea what a Rusted Root was... some said yes. And then we never spoke to them again. But the no's were our friend. I think we did it because we could. Maybe it was illegal. But it was a question of taste... and in our small, tight crew, taste mattered more than anything else. We already had one hippy in our midst.
