A sports desk staffer called me at my previous job, asking how many box scores would be sent to the newspaper that evening. This let him reserve sufficient space in the paper. As he put it, "This will give me 'room to move,' as John Mayall said." This sparked accolades from me on Mayall's "Room To Move" and the guitar work, harmonica playing, and vocals on some of his other best songs. The staffer responded in kind.
About five minutes later, I answered his question about box scores. I would have answered it right away, but how often do you get to praise Mayall's music while working at a non-musical job?
