THEIR GOLDN HOUR (WITH 685
HAIRY PEOPLE)

What do you do if your promo team has the top three tracks at Pop radio? You pile in the wagon and hunker down at a big communal table at TGI Friday’s, where everyone can dig into a massive tray of jalapeno poppers and—oh, right, quarantine. As we were saying, you have a big ol’ Zoom party! Peter Gray’s sizable Columbia squad, delirious with joy over the Jawsh 685-Harry Styles-24k Goldn trifecta—enjoyed this digital hootenanny, which was every bit as raucous as it appears. Let’s call the roll, shall we?

Seen almost certainly wearing pants are L.A.’s Joe Roselli, San Francisco’s Kathleen Broderick (who also gets the photo credit for this masterpiece), New York’s John Strazza and Pete Cosenza, Jen Dalton (Texas), Sam Brenner (L.A.), Jim Burruss (N.Y.), James White (L.A.), Matt Stevens (N.Y.), Chris Sottile (Miami), Mark Potter (Minneapolis), Brady Bedard (Atlanta), Dave Watson (Cleveland), Gray and Jane Mathangani (N.Y.). Not pictured, but kvelling somewhere, are Kesley DiTullio (Texas, on maternity leave) and Mary Taggart (N.Y., enjoying the splendor that is moving day). Later, everyone bought sushi online.
