I don’t like to talk about this very often but when i was a young adolescent, the Unification Church tried (unsuccessfully) to recruit me. I don’t know if it was a matter of my being an usually difficult personality to break down or perhaps it was just that the snacks at the Jews For Jesus meetings were so much better (who buys RC Cola and realistically expects to brainwash anyone) but either way, I did not end up selling flowers by the side of the road. Which brings me to present day and a memo from East Village Radio mgmt requesting my presence in NYC next week for a “team building exercise”. I’ve got some experience here and the rhetoric sounds suspiciously like something that will have me selling flowers by the side of the road. And that’s ok, I’ve never been a team player before and maybe it’s time I started. If do happen to see me selling flowers by the side of the road, please keep in mind a) the flowers don’t sell themselves (if they did, they would be the smartest flowers of all time) and b) I CANNOT CUT YOU A DEAL.
