July 2…
Marlon Brando passed into the LA Desert air today. He was 80. When asked on advice for young actors he had once replied, “Acting is such a silly thing to do.”
On another note, (by way of Brando’s Oscar win in which he sent an Indian on his behalf to decline) I have been politely blacklisted from sending out inspirational quotes to a Securities trading desk in New York. Reasons given for the blacklist imply that the messages distributed might not be motivational enough for the weary foreign exchange analyst who dream of happy hour by 10:30AM. “They’re cynical enough as it is,” is what the analyst told me. Regardless, the zany group left dizzy from trading Yen with Euro can expect at least one reference quote to my favorite Brazilian Speed Metal band: Cicada Death March. The born again band writes inspirational fantasy trilogies that use frequent metaphors about Dragons, Knights in Shining Armor, and Wizards all through the sound filter of old school digital effects processors and good old fashoion Marshal Stack Natural Distortion.
