Video: Rosie to Sheryl Crow — one square’s not enough for me

It’s not often that she’s right, but she’s right. Dear god, is she ever.

The Smoking Gun’s got a copy of Crow’s concert rider demanding parking for her own little portable greenhouse-gas emissions caravan. Serious exit question, as posed in the comments to Friday’s post by my pal Tanya (who’s usually right): Wasn’t Crow kidding about the toilet paper thing? Granted, joking about fanatic environmentalism on a site like HuffPo is like rolling a grenade into your own tent, but one square of toilet paper? For real? Come on.

Spoken like someone who equates success in life by the amount of money one earns. Hopefully you aren’t married to anyone in the military, because they earn pennies on the dollar compared to their corporate peers. Just ask Darlene Druyun (former undersecretary for acquisition, US Air Force). I suppose military leaders aspire to be lords of the boardroom when they retire, to prove their leadership skills?

So when do you “go Diamond!”, honora? Dexter Yager is looking for someone just like you.

(oh, and any references to the writings of e.e.cummings aside, honora, it’s customary to capitalise adjectives when one is discussing the principle of that adjective in the superlative sense; your interpretation of the practice as [presumably] paternalistic, condescending, and/or patriarchal says quite a bit about you as the interpreter in this instance)

I was married to a military man. Leadership IMO exists in all kinds of environments. And in my experience, people who denigrate financial success are trying to convince themselves that it is somehow dirty and ignoble (really quite a leftist POV!!!)

Here’s a little secret I am happy to share with you: I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. Rich is better.

Try this: If one has to attend a leadership conference to learn how to be a leader …
It is a gift, just like a good voice is for singing.
Just like a good voice can be used to sing crud or to sing beauty, leadership can be used to lead others into good or into evil.
If one doesn’t have “it,” even 100 conferences aren’t going to make it appear.
;P

I cling to the old-fashioned notion that all talent needs to be nourished. Whether that talent is leadership (and yes, it can be taught; I believe you are confusing leadership with charisma) singing, cooking, language, mathematics whatever.

What a conversation.
