as far as I know, two steps forward and one step back is better than zero steps forward…Rock on Bono!
Thanks to Bono, as an awesome lyricist once wrote, we are “one step closer”~
I attended a meeting recently with some of the top Real Estate brokers in the world, including Warren Buffet,and one of the brokers was talking about “African debt cancellation” and the importance of it. Another broker then said, “Mike, that is great to hear that your firm is aiding in support of this, you’re a rock star!”
And this was not referring to Bono or a “real” rock star, but more of an adjective or personality type-
We use that term in todays world when someone does something cool or in many cases does something helpful.
If my admin assistant does one of her typical “above and beyond” effort, I tell her, “thanks, you’re a rock star!”
Bono is a true rock star, and he is a Rock Star-
As far as the interview piece, very well done!
Jimi Hendrix dove and “they just can’t help but be cool” were the two highlights for me-
