You cannot always judge a book by its cover
It is funny how we make assumptions about our fellow human beings, and it is often striking what happens when an assumption gets disproved. For example, I work for a big international firm in an office filled with all manner of clever, preppy, if rather quiet, people. One of my senior colleagues is the most charming, well-dressed and typically English gent you could care to meet. He comes as typical “suburban man” (not a pejorative term in my book). Anyway, during a brief conversation with him at his workstation, my attention wandered across to a pile of CDs he had on his desk: piles and piles of rock music, as well as a live Stevie Ray Vaughan album.
I can’t think of the man in the same way again. All because of a legendary blues guitarist CD.
