proof that you don't need to know about music to work in a music company

Temping in one of the big music companies this week - not the one I was at before. The other one. You know. This afternoon the guy next to me turns to me:

Guy: Are Sex Pistols any good?
Me: The Sex Pistols?
Guy: Yeah
Me: Depends on your music taste. They're pretty legendary. Why?
Guy: Someone just invited me to see them this evening at Brixton Academy
Me: (dying to go) Dang. You should.
Guy: I don't know...
Me: Well, do you like punk music?
Guy: ... Punk... like Avril Lavigne??

I had to turn away and pretend to pick something up from the printer to hide my smirk-bordering-on-giggles. Good grief.
