Neil Young visits record store and pulls one of his bootlegs

[Facelift]

I recall a music writer talking about being in a NYC record store in the 70s and pulling out a Stones boot. He turned to see an angry Keith Richards a few feet away. Then Keith and a couple roadies approached the counter while the writer skedaddled.

I need to start frequenting stores that sell a lot of boots. Seems to be a good way to encounter a famous musician in person.

That would have been quite a remarkable find in 1972.

If that was the current issue of Rolling Stone at the counter, it was actually late 1971.

Imagine you worked in a record shop that sold bootlegs and Peter Grant walked in, and you recognised him. What would YOU do?

There are six record stores - donning mostly vinyl - within a 15 minutes walk from my small apartment here in Oslo. Six! And only two of them are secondhands.

They offer a lot - a whole damn lot of progressive rock, jazz, latino, folk, psych, industrial, metal, hardcore and alternative/indie. Good to be alive, European and a Norwegian music fan. Costly, though...

As an American music fan, I'm jealous.
