More off topic: I began working first as a clerk and then the buyer for the Video West stores.
The one in West Hollywood was across the street from the Larrabee Sound Studios, where
many famous musicians recorded music / songs / albums. We did not often see all these
people, but on occasion.
The video store I worked in had monitors to show things on, as most did. One day in 1985-86
Madonna came out of Larrabee Sound Studios over to Video West with a VHS cassette. She
asked if she could play it on our monitors. It was, if I recall, some music video she was working
on. I might have a better memory of what this was all about, but...I WAS NOT THERE THAT DAY!

However, on another day, I was walking through the parking lot across the street, which our store
shared with Larrabee Sound Studios. My boss had given me her keys to get something out of her
car. Lo and behold, I stumbled upon Madonna and Sean Penn having a rather heated argument
in the parking lot. They quieted down somewhat when they saw I had appeared on the scene!
Heh!
