So I was wondering if I should start a thread about "Dreamhunk: My Life as a Lawyer" and then write myself posts when no one else cares? I have good lawyer stories!
Brad.........I love it when you give us one of your youthful over the top comments; you really made the point with that one. It might be a little overstated, but just a little and it accurately reflects the feelings of knowledgeable Motown fans in general.
I don't believe Diana Ross or Berry Gordy confided much in Randy Tarraborelli; I don't believe he has even said such a thing; I think he did something like what a lot of us fans have done but Randy turned it into a life and a career; he followed much more closely; he clung as best he could from a very young age; he learned; he listened; he interviewed. He gathered; he collected; he kept notes.
The guy has got to have some brains and use them; he has the street smarts Diana did; he did not go the route that Mary went for many years - the parties, the fun, the laid back attitude, the take life as it comes. In due course, Mary learned if she did that, she would end up like Flo.
Randy was smart and committed from day one and parlayed it from Diana Ross into a career; and I think he's been reasonably successful; he's not well known but a few magazines and TV shows go to him for comments and he must have made some money out of all these books. Someone said he drives a Lexus. Does he?
And Tony.............no credible news organization is going to someone who acts like that and who wrote such trash. And a lexus? Tony will be lucky if he can still ride a bike.
