GRADUATIONS

Hello friends,

Out of the dullness of doing a not very good show 10 times a week my heart is getting numb so I do not know what to tell you. I gather inspiration from everywhere and after being fathers day yesterday and my father being far away…no, he is not dead, he is in Spain I decide to write for you a nice speech that Tom Hanks gave at his daughter's school.

…”Smart folks concocted a computer simulation of gridlock to determine how many cars should be taken off the road to turn a completely jammed and stilled highway into a free-flowing one. The results were startling. Four cars needed to be removed…four cars out of each one hundred. …

Call it the power of four… if merely four people out of a hundreds can make gridlock go away by choosing not to use their car, imagine the other changes that can be wrought just by four of us out of a hundred. Take a hundred musicians in a depressed port city in Northern England, choose John, Paul, George and Ringo and you have “hey Jude”. Take hundred computer geeks in Redmond, Wash.; send 96 of them home and the remainder is called Microsoft. Take the Power of four and apply it to any and every area of your concern. Politics: four votes swung from one hundred into another hundred is the difference between gaining control and losing clout. Culture: two tickets buyers out of fifty can make a small, odd film profitable.”
Comedy: take four comedians actor of hundreds in London and make Spymonkey and there you have it the new Monty Python.

Have fun
