That is truly a great mantra for any company: TURN IT UP TO 11! I love it. Parallel Geno. Smell the Black Glove was for sure the best album.

All of the greatest artists--and companies for that matter--found success because they didn't go into it saying, "I'm going to make a lot of money." They go into it saying, "This is the most important thing I can be doing with my time, and if other people happen to think so too, great." And the lesson of Spinal Tap is just that--they were great, until they cared more about being thought of as great, than actually doing the things that made them that way. Smalls, St. Hubbins, Tufnel....and I never can remember the drummer's name..... Any rock band with an album titled “Intraveinous DiMilo” deserves our undiminished admiration . . .

All of the greatest artists–and companies for that matter–found success because they didn’t go into it saying, “I’m going to make a lot of money.” They go into it saying, “This is the most important thing I can be doing with my time, and if other people happen to think so too, great.”

You know... there's great, then greater, and greatest, but why not be greatester? I like it. The pause, then the line: "these ones go to 11" is killer! I get it Geno… it’s like being greatester.

The pause, then the line: “these ones go to 11″ is killer!

I've seen big bands and small bands, but the experiences that have been most memorable are the times that the bands came out after playing to talk to the fans. Interacting personally with the members of a band you love increases fan passion in the same way that a meaningful interaction with an available brand does- but it also gives fans fuel for the fire of conversation. I talk way more about smaller bands that I have met and talked to than I do about huge super-bands I have seen in concert (even though some super bands put on amazing shows). Why? I feel like I know the artist behind the art when I listen to band I've met- in the same way that customers feel like they know the heart behind a product/service when they use or interact with an available brand.
