Orwell said, allegedly, that those who control the present control the past and those who control the past control the future
I learned the truth about life while interviewing a pop legend music business artist.
Two decades. “I was 36 years old and married. On Sundays, I watched 60 minutes. The feature story that evening was you. I was not a fan of young lady pop music. I decided to watch anyway. The retort you gave Leslie Stahl when she mocked you for showing fan appreciation was priceless. This is why we are sitting here now. This is a story of how a young lady with a voice and a guitar navigated and then transcended and redefined ownership of the music industry.”
“Let’s go into the kitchen and do some shots,” she said.
“Do you like tequila?”
“No,” I responded.
“Well, I like tequila.” she said.
“Drink your shot and then you get to ask me another question.”
It is quiet and the fireplace is impressive.
“Do you think there should be a song called, ‘I will shut up, or stop asking questions if you fuck me?’”
“That was my line, silly,” she said.
She took me to an alleged private room where she had a few things that were special to her and her alone.
