Budget Tapes and Records, Idaho Falls ID. Went in high school with some buddies 3 or 4 times a summer from our tiny ass hick town to the “big city” (35k at the time, 70k now…)
Said “I don’t want any country music shit like everyone else in my town, and I hate New Kids on the Block, what should I listen to?”
Kid hands me “Mother’s Milk” by RHCP on cassette and off I went to discover alt rock, punk, ska, and all sorts of music way better than country or pop. So wish I could thank that kid today.
