And what I mean by light bulbs is they re the brightest one in the room and when they walk in the door every head turns. Every head. Not just a few, not some people still talking in the corner. It s like everyone stops what they are doing. Elvis Presley, Otis Redding and Roy Orbison. And I saw that happen to Bill Clinton. So, there you go and I ve never seen that happen to anybody else, ever.
