LeAnn Rimes Doesn't Work Here

I think it should be noted that, while there's no way to tell for sure, the caller sounded like an middle aged man. A pathetic, stupid middle aged man.

Aaron: [Standard greeting.]
Caller: Hi. Yes. So I'm wondering if you can help me-... I-... Maybe you could connect me with-... I don't even know what department this would be...
A: Ok. Well what's the question?
C: Well about a year ago I won tickets with your station to a LeAnn Rimes concert.
A: Uh-huh.
C: And afterwards I was fortunate enough to go backstage and meet her. We had a great conversation.
A: I see.
C: And we took pictures together.
A: All right.
C: So she's coming back to town for a concert, and I would like to go backstage again.
A: Well-
C: And I want her to autograph the photos.
A: Ok, well no one here is going to be able to help you out with that.
C: Why not?
A: Because we don't have access to LeAnn Rimes.
C: What do you mean?
A: Well this is just a radio station.
C: I know.
A: You're going to have to contact LeAnn Rimes' agent or manager or something along those lines.
C: Well do you have that number?
A: No. You might try looking online at LeAnn Rimes' website to see if she has a business contact information. That's probably your best shot.
C: Can't you just get me backstage at the concert again.
A: That wasn't organized by us. It was probably organized by the promoters or the producers of the concert.
C: But don't you have like an in?
A: With LeAnn Rimes?
C: Yeah.
A: No.
C: But you play her music.
A: Yeah, it's a radio station. We have license to play her music but we don't necessarily have access to her as an artist.
C: So what am I supposed to do? I really want to get these photos signed.
A: Well you can go to the concert and see if you can get backstage or you can try and contact people who DO have access to her as an artist like her manager or agent.

At this point we circled back around to the "no one here can help you with that" portion of the conversation and continued through to the end. Maybe twice. Maybe three times. Towards the end I think he was just as frustrated with me as I was with him and so he said goodbye and I said good riddance.
