In an article about the Stone Roses and Ian Browne and John Squire's relationship. Ian said that he "went round his house and he's into the Beach Boys and I bought him Sex Pistols singles and the first Clash LP and put him on to music right from the off."
I'm not against the Sex Pistols or the Clash, but you know? I guess I wouldn't even of read this article, since I care nothing about them, but the sub-heading said the article talked of his "punk education" and the rest, and once they mention punk you know it's going to be a lame article.
While reading this, I got a call from a guy looking for a vehicle for 20 passngers to Vegas next weekend. That's what he asks. I quote him and he said, rather sarcastically in disbelief, "Really? Is that with the MTV discount? I used you guys during August and I called a couple of other places and they gave me a way cheaper rate."
"Well, sir. I just quoted you based on what you asked. I don't know who you are or what kind of discounts we give you. If you tell me, I can see what I can do. What were the quotes that you were offered?"
What is this guy thinking; that the number he has of ours is a dedicated line for him only? Or we have those Batman phones that lights up red. I hate people, anyway, who try to use their position or fame for fucking favors. The way you ask has a lot to do with me giving deals. If he called and said, "Hey, it's me from the MTV account. I'm looking for a limo to Vegas next weekend..."
Knowing that he used us before and they have a corporate account with us, I would've tried to get him a rate. If you're that important anywhere, and people like you, you will get hooked up if able to. You don't fucking force your ways into perks.
It's not only rude, but it makes you look stupid.
