When my brother and I delivered our presentation, How to Be a Hero for More than One Day, I asked him, “How can we become heroes?” He replies, “By performing acts of quality.” The next logical question is, “Why is an act of quality important?”

Read More...Robert Fripp’s moonlighting as a motivational speaker makes perfect sense
Mark Dery sent me the entire article from his interview in 1985.
However, I enjoyed his modern day comment…
“Incidentally, Mr. Fripp’s moonlighting as a motivational speaker makes perfect sense. In my years in the golden ghetto of rock journalism, I interviewed scores of musicians, most of whom impressed me as barely articulate creatures of very little brain, dull as a doorknob and culturally illiterate about anything but music.

Best, M. Dery
Thanks Mark!
