Business porn is where good writing goes to die, condemned to sadistic asphyxiation in the service of coded buzz-speak and greasy greenback envy of the sort that only a One Southern Indiana oligarchy fetishist truly can appreciate when curled up in pajamas by the stock market ticker, with an ice-cold Bud Light Lime and a box of handy tissues – doused in aloe, of course.
I made reference to an Insider Louisville piece by Terry Brock, hastily assuming he was a local writer, but this is mistaken. He actually lives in Florida, and appears to be quite renowned.
I appreciate that Brock took the time to post a comment about my column, and of course I'd love to have a beer with him if he comes through town while on tour.

ON THE AVENUES: There's no business like no business, and it's none of your business.
Brilliant piece, Roger! I love every word of it. Yes, I believe we need a separation of business and politics and businesses should focus on their business.
You raise some excellent points about local issues. That is important. For many of us, "local" is Planet Earth. We focus on issues that affect many and are tied together based more on values and aspirations than a defined piece of dirt where we happen to live currently.
Hey, I would *LOVE* to talk with you more about this. Sounds like these types of discussions would be best over some of that good craft beer you have up there in New Albany! For doing such an outstanding job on this piece, I owe you a nice beer, or other beverage of your choice!
Thanx for writing this. Simply brilliant, Roger! Keep up the good work!

Here's my most renowned contribution to business marketing. It's rather politicized, though only because I fully intended it to be that way.
Thank you for your comment, Roger. Yep! You are one wonderful guy I would love to share some drinks with at some point in the future. When my travels get me back to the Louisville area sometime, we'll have to connect.
ReplyDeleteAlso if your travels ever bring you here to Florida, let me know. We have some very nice beverages here as well and I'd be honored to share some with you, sir.
Again, I really appreciated your comments and astute remarks. I love it when someone writes so brilliantly and gets me thinking. Keep up the good work and I wish you the very best!
Terry
