Excellent email I got this morning from the Bob Lefsetz blog. The first link is from a TED talk regarding the issue, and is almost 15 minutes long. Very interesting.
Here is the blog post from Lefsetz:

So this math question had 4 parts. Decimal division. What the what??? 6th grade. Decimal division. Not like 1.2 or something…. this was .2785409 divided by .06875023 or something ridiculous like that……

That house is on fucking fire!
A friend once told me that “being in love is like seeing a house in flames, and still running right in.”

The Frontier
Recently we spent about 10 days in the Northwest US. Montana, Washington and Oregon to be exact. It was a great trip for many reasons, and I’m trying to remember them all.

Anyone who works in live concert entertainment knows there are risks in what we do. There are serious things to consider on an almost daily basis. We try to do everything possible every day to make the concert enjoyable and safe for the performers, the crew and the fans. We know that injuries can happen, but can feel almost insulated from catastrophe.
People that attend these concerts are usually...
