08 Gentleman Jim Norton - Road Manager / Sound Manager (Crucial Youth): Gentleman Jim Norton (not to be confused with that other guy) runs live music shows in New Jersey, and has decades of experience behind the scenes working for touring bands and at live music venues. Knowledgeable and hilarious, Jim speaks humbly about his career, a detour selling insurance, and a more recent epiphany that he loves his work. Jim’s mantra of saying “yes” to the world may have come from the intro of a Butthole Surfers LP, but the overall wisdom gained from putting it to practice is universal.
