For someone who spent two years campaigning for a minimum wage job at Tower Records Rockville, Dalia Goldgor ended up with quite a career with the company. In this episode, we talk with Dalia about the role music played in her early life, surrounded by Ukrainian and Russian family members singing folks songs at dinner parties, her much older brother turning an 8 year old Dalia onto The Smiths, Queen and Blondie, our shared love of Prince, managing her first store at Tower Records Alexandria and the night Dave Grohl forgot his wallet while writing a check on a huge purchase for all of the Foos, the joy of the Fairfax VA store, the struggles of running the Washington DC store and finishing her career in the DC Regional Office as both Regional Event Coordinator and Regional Assistant. The demise of the company at the store level is told in crushing blow by blow detail and the efforts Dalia and Regional Manager Despina Panagoulias took to remove all personnel files before the liquidators took over. Dalia's enthusiasm for Tower is still evident all these years later and she has the tattoo to show for it as well.
