If you had to bet which employee of Tower Records had visited the Playboy Mansion the most, who would you bet on? Russ Solomon? Robert Stapleton? Stan Goman? Robert Stapleton? Bob Feterl? If I could place an actual wager on this bet in Vegas, I’d take my life savings and bet it was Robert Stapleton. But I’d be very wrong and very poor.
Clint Johns visited the Playboy Mansion more than any other Tower Records employee, visiting 2-3 times a year and he even once lost track of one of his friends in the grotto, but I digress…
In this episode, Clint Johns tells us all about his career with Tower and everything we’d want to know about Tower Magazines. Privately, at Magazine industry functions, Tower’s competition would acknowledge Tower’s superior Magazine departments; the depth and breadth of the departments and particularly the dedication to zines and small press.
Never at a loss for words, Clint takes us through his time working in the stores, as a Book/Magazine Regional working with Kevin Cassidy and his descent into Mag Hell, working with the enigma Doug Biggert.
Clint also walks us through the three types of Magazine Section Leaders he witnessed during his time in Magazines.
Finally, Clint tells us about the day he worked up the nerve to pop his head in Russ Solomon’s office and came out impressed 3 hours later.
Join us for a deep dive into one of the most unsung, profitable and respected departments of the company with our guest Clint Johns.
