Yes We Will. $1,799,400.
If you want the truth about anything ask a comedian. It is the job of comics to point out the patently obvious – thus completely surprising us every time.
A bright young talent I saw last week quipped, “To be fair to the president in his campaign he only said ‘Yes We Can’. He hasn’t broken any promises. He never said ‘Yes We Will’.”
But I’m saying, ‘Yes We Will!’ Oh don’t fret - I will not be running in 2012. (I actually really definitely was not born in the USA and in any case I still have great faith in the present leader).
I’m saying ‘Yes We Will’ about something that is up to me. $1,799, 400
$1,799,400 is the difference between what happens this week - 40 fans paying $15 each to see me in one house concert and what will happen the same week next year - 40,000 fans paying $45 each to see me. $1,799,400 is the difference.
“So we are going to try to achieve that, Dezy?”
Try? Have you ever tried to quit smoking? Can’t be done. But you decide Yes I Will and despite the perceived difficulties around the challenge it is done!
And you English professors out there, Yes We Will is not just bad grammar for Yes We Shall as in ‘Shall We Dance?’ Yes We Shall would merely be an attempt to foretell the future.
Yes We Will is a statement of pure intent. $1,799,400.
Next week I’ll tell you how we begin.
