No one knew yet, but this man was about to become a legend?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?  Because he turned up for an interview at the BBC of course.  Except, this wasn&#8217;t his interview.  His interview was for a job but instead he got propelled to Internet fame through the blunder where he immediately became a music industry expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair to Guy, he successful predicts the rapid growth in online music that we&#8217;re all aware of today so a definite, big techie congratulations from us for that!  He&#8217;s reached the peak of stardom clearly as he has his own <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Guy_Goma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia page<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just look at his face when he realises what happens!  At the start of the interview he does try to explain but it seems to go over the reporters head!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e6Y2uQn_wvc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonder what Guy is doing these days?
