Record Store Tales

Joan Jett's Bad Reputation LP, i remember buying this at my local Record store at the time and having the clerk (who always seemed just a wee bit stoned) asking me "Is she any good?" I told him yes she was, this was before Joan had had a hit and not long after the Runaways had burned out. I wonder if he ever listened to her, store closed not long after and a Turtles opened up nearby.
