I'm in Rolling Stone! (Well sorta')

So I'm looking through the latest Rolling Stone and they've got an article on the new Silicon Valley billionaires. Mark Zuckerberg is one of them. Started a company called 'Facebook'. I remember him. Came in to my music store one day after the n'th round of VC funding and decided it was time to buy a guitar. Nothing fancy, and nothing so cheap it's pathetic. Just something decent for learning guitar at home. I ended up selling him a $300 guitar and a $100 amp. We talked a bit about instant riches and dot-com wealth. Been there, done that.

Anyway, in the Rolling Stone article, he's mentioning that he doesn't really care that his company might be worth billions. He mentioned that upon becoming somewhat important, he made the outlandish purchase of  a $100 amp...

So there you go. I know it's weak, but it counts for something.
