Going Diamond

From the desk of Ned P. Rauch:

Twenty-five years ago, on this day, June 4, I turned eight. On that very same day, Bruce Springsteen released "Born in the USA." It went on to sell more than 10 million copies—considered diamond status by the RIAA. I went on to sell, um, well, a few years later I sold my first electric guitar to a classmate of mine named Mason for $145, I think. And the first year after college I sold my first car, a 1985 Chevy Blazer, for $200. And right now, as I turn 33, I'm taking bids on one of my kidneys. So, Bruce, on this big day of anniversaries, a toast to success!
