The interview was winding down, when one of my interviewers asked a final question.
“What’s the best 49 cents you ever spent?” he asked.
“Wow,” I said, and cocked my head to the side to think. “Gee. . .”
“This is a softball one,” he said.
“Huh.” I said. “I don’t know.”
“Paul Westerberg’s 49:00,” he said.
“Oh man!” I screeched. “I can’t believe I didn’t get that.”
We then went on to talk about the record and how Paste magazine thinks I am Paul Westerberg. To say I want this job might be the understatement of the century.

That doesn’t sound like any job interview I’ve ever experienced. Hope it works out in your favor.
I will say a prayer every night that you get this job.
If you do get the job, you owe me $50. I don’t pray for free.
