Irwin's Book Club: "Hitmaker"

I'm reading Tommy Mottola's book. I'm not done with it, but I'm really enjoying it thus far.

At the beginning, he was doing this annoying device where he'd be like. "I'm in Antonio's Pizza in Brooklyn. Come on in, get a slice!" I hate shit like that. Luckily, he seems to have completely abandoned it. Thank God.

I'm always fascinated by guys in big jobs. Deal maker/salesman type dudes. Because that is completely foreign to me and I could never do it. Tommy Mottola is the ultimate one of those guys. And it seems like being born in a big city and hanging out in the streets all day long helps you become like that. Living in an all white and asian suburb as I did, makes you want to write sad blog entries in the privacy of your home.

One of those things makes you become a billionaire, the other does not. 

This is yet another book that would benefit from my genius idea of incorporating youtube into it. There are a million places where you should be able to tap a link while reading it on your kindle and a song starts playing. He's talking about bands I've never heard of, wouldn't it be so great if it was interactive and I could immediately hear that band's work?

How many genius ideas do I have to come up with and not follow through on? Give me a call, Shark Tank. I'm here all day.

Anyway, I recommend the book.
