Don't EVER go to see Malcolm Gladwell!

My God- last night I had to endure this fuzzy haired freak ( says he), verbal meandering for 1.5 hours. Quite honestly I have never had to endure a less entertaining, futile load of bollocks in all my life, and it cost me £18 for the experience!
In desperation I tried to fall asleep as fast as I could, as it was too dark to do anything else productive, whilst my open mouthed compatriots stared in disbelief at the incoherent nonsense rendering forth in painfully nasal American intonation from the stage. My God, rarely do I wish mis-fortune on anybody but I made an exception in this case. I'm all for euthanasia now.

That's quite a nasty and very personal attack on Malcolm Gladwell. And you seemed intent on falling asleep from the start. I've seen him twice now and last night's at Salford Quays wasn't as good, but I suppose it's about expectation. You need to let him take you on a journey with his storytelling style.

I couldn't disagree more - see my blog: http://tangerine-digital-pr.blogspot.com/2010/05/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed-by-sandy.html and DO go and see him - at every/the first chance you get!!!

Your comment was made an excellent and very funny entre to last night talk. I hope you didn't mean it serious. I thought he was good, albeit with a somewhat abrupt finale.
