Mention of this in-store by Return to Atlanta blog
In 1989, I had the privilege of seeing Robyn Hitchcock perform an in-store acoustic set at the Turtles Records on Ponce, which was right next to the Plaza Theater. Afterwards, he signed autographs and I had planned to tell him about Rio (shopping center)'s globe of frogs. What a great photo op that would be! There was no need, virtually every single person in line in front of me blurted out, "You have to go see the globe of frogs! Have you seen the globe of frogs? It's just around the corner. I can take you there. Blah, blah, blah..." He seemed completely disinterested and rarely even made eye contact with those in line. After a dozen people had broached the subject, he finally snapped. "Come on, I've got to be in Athens in two hours!" And that was that.
