Remember, this is what this guy really is like when you see his smiling face and friendly demeanor on stage. Seth Godin's new book is titled "All Marketers are Liars". In the case of many celebrities, that couldn't be more true. Celebrity is a marketing venture. And creeps like this should be exposed for what they are. Foul-mouthed, loathesome bastard.
Listen to how he threatens the musicians with their jobs. Listen to his megalomaniacal "That's the way it is" routine. Listen to his incredibly self focused overrated opinion of himself.
Now imagine if this was a CEO or store manager or team leader. Can you imagine what would come of this? Now, ask yourself, what if this was recorded of you in some situation when something went wrong. This is certainly not what you would want people to see you as. Keep it real, as we used to say, and be the better person. Not the lowest.
Celebrity or position should never be allowed to trump decency, honesty and humility. If it does, it will be revealed sooner or later. Don't ever revert to this type of humiliation when dealing with your assistants, associates, clients... anyone.
All marketers (and most celebrities) are indeed liars, Seth. Maybe they should get shirts too....
