I recall when I first learned the concept of the 'fire hydrant.'. It was very cynical then, it's still cynical now... We all make jokes about it, but do we actually do it? I'm a pretty cynical guy, but somehow, most of the time, I still TRY to approach some level of art or craft... Even in the smallest way. I know for a fact John invests way more effort in his work than his clients likely deserve...
I'm most concerned about Terry's teacher offering this as a valid concept to young students. I suppose some form of twisted idealism is what's kept me grinding through this career... Certainly not the money.
OMG. I need another 'cup of shut the hell up.'

So this producer buddy & I would intentionally insert a special shot, kinda like red meat (which did work) thinking all the while "oh yeah, she'll be all over this shot" -looking back, I'd say 8 out of 10 times, this CD would NOT take the bait. Instead, most times she'd single out some other shot for us to replace. Go figure.
