[kj] back to woik!!!

[Jerry Butson]

Yeah, just let me weigh in and say take any good opportunity by the balls,
Alex, you don't know what will come of it. All large companies are
inherently corrupt but change has to come from the inside...charity does
begin at home and that's where your priority must lie.

When it comes to making that choice I'm reminded of the Butthole Surfers
track that starts "it's better to regret something you have done than
something you haven't.

I, for one, have made some poor choices work wise over the past few years
having spent much time in dinosaur record companies, small shitty
family-owned record companies, and mistakenly believing I could make it on
my own as a consultant.

Regrets? Not leaving EMI sooner... that really was going nowhere.
Leaving DMC, a good job at a strange little company and really burning my
bridges on the way out
Squandering my mother's legacy whilst trying to go it alone.
Realising my mistake and landing (with some difficulty) a great job at DTS
which my hubris wouldn't allow me to stay in after four months.
And now pissing away so much time commuting again (until the last three
weeks which I've spent in hospital and convalescing at home).

Oh for a great opportunity to come and save me now! So, Alex, take that
opportunity by the balls. Relax and kill your heart cos I say "live like
kings and queens".

Sincerity overload...over and out!
