His back pages at Rhino Records

In a nice guest piece for Native Intelligence, Joel Bellman tells stories from his years as a staffer, then the manager, of the Rhino Records sister store in his hometown of Claremont. "What a gig! Sit around in a rock t-shirt and jeans all day playing whatever records we wanted, hanging out, spewing opinions, and getting paid for it! I still can't believe it. But like I said: Dead. Past. Gone." He supports the proposed documentary on Rhino, which is seeking financial backing on Kickstarter before the fundraising campaign ends on Friday.
