🎶🎸Wish you were here… I was part of the dramatic society in college, where discussing plays and short stories threadbare was our intellectual stimulation. There was something electric about those debates, the way we dissected the works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Saadat Hasan Manto. And of course, there was music to feed our brains as well—one of my favorite bands, Pink Floyd. "Wish You Were Here" was the anthem of our reflective moments, while "Another Brick in the Wall" had us singing with our lungs bursting, defying everything that felt confining or conventional. But here’s a little-known story about Pink Floyd that always stuck with me. Before they became the iconic band that still makes hearts throb with their eternal music, they were known as "The Tea Set." It wasn’t until they entered a competition that a sudden twist changed everything. Imagine the scene… A band, ready to perform, finds out another group with the exact same name is also competing. Panic? Perhaps. But what followed was a moment of pure, quick-thinking creativity. Syd Barrett, their frontman, didn’t have time to deliberate. He drew inspiration from two blues musicians he admired—Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, both masters of their craft in the genre that would later influence so many greats. Pink and Floyd were artists who lived their lives in the rhythm and blues of the American South, crafting songs that were raw, real, and deeply human. Their names, fused together in a moment of necessity, became a symbol of timeless artistry. It’s funny how a name born out of necessity can end up defining something so eternal. Pink Floyd—born from a fleeting moment, now a legend! This story always makes me wonder… What makes someone or something story-worthy? Who do we look to for inspiration when we’re forging our own paths? The truth is, few people or moments inspire the kind of remembrance that lives on, but those who do often guide us in choosing our destiny, just as Pink Anderson and Floyd Council did for Syd Barrett. So, can we become story-worthy? Can we inspire others in a way that lasts? It’s a question worth pondering. Ever had a moment like that? One that changed everything? I’d love to hear your stories. 😊 #Storytelling #Inspiration #MusicLegends

I have yet to meet someone who says they don't like Dolly, and many say, "I don't like Beyonce." "Beyonce should stay in her lane." "There are other b1ack artists in country music. What is she trying to prove?" What did people say when Dolly made a rock & roll album? 🦗 ......... 🦗 Nothing. They supported her. Maybe even chuckled, as that is "such a Dolly move." (In another "Dolly move," she contributed to Beyonce's album with an intro to Beyonce's version of "Jolene," - highlighting how they both have issues "with h*ssies with the good hair.") Here are reasons to support Beyonce making a country album: She's from the south. She historically includes her southern roots in her music. She is a musical genius who mixes genres with ease. She h..... ( ❌ Scratch that. Here's the real reason...) 👏 Because she da** well wants to. 👏 Is Dolly's support an example of an active ally? What is an example of an active ally in your life? ----- Want to learn what it takes to move from an ally to an active ally? Message me "ALLY" to bring the topic to your company. #beyonce #dei #psychologicalsafety #emotionalintelligence

John R. Cash Johnny Cash was an American country singer-songwriter. Most of Cash's music contains themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially songs from the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm, bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his backing band, The Tennessee Three, that was characterized by its train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, and his free prison concerts. Cash wore a trademark all-black stage wardrobe, which earned him the nickname as the "Man in Black". #JohnnyCash #ManInBlack #GrowthStrategy #ExitStrategy
