Business…today, I’ve got a piece at the ESPN on Michelle Wie turning pro. Were this presented in a graduate economics class, I would be discussing her through the prism of profit maximization, loss minimization, and the vagaries of conditional expectations. Since it’s here, I just talked about what might or might not be. In the end, economics is just common sense.
Speaking of common sense, who’s gonna be dumb enough to go to Joe Jackson’s hip hop boot camp?
I assure you that link is real. Just like this link to Joe Jackson’s German fan club.
I assure you that link is real, also.

So, what’s gonna go on at Joe Jackson boot camp? First, what’s Joe know about rap? Well, there’s little reason to believe Jimmy Iovine knows more about rap than Joe. After all, Jimmy’s production track record is with artists like Patti Smith (she of “Horses” fame). Should it matter that Joe hasn’t done anything worth mentioning, save for tours, since the mid-seventies? Of course not!
Why not? Because there is so much humor to be had from Joe Jackson hip hop boot camp. Straight up, if you’re in New York and can attend, please do and let me know what the scene is like. I’ll seriously consider paying someone to check that out. You can’t make up stuff that good.
And trust, I’ve made up a lot of stuff to provide myself entertainment, but nothing like this. This will easily trump that time me and Sid told this girl in high school that I was really Bo’s twin brother Patrice. Nope, not making that up.
Well, I made up the story, but the story I’m telling about the story is real. Yes, who’s on first and what’s on second.
So, does this mean the Phil Spector Boy Band Retreat is coming soon? How ’bout punk rock taught by Perry Como? Who wouldn’t wanna learn to dance like MC Hammer from Little Richard?
New Jack Swing by James Brown? I’d sell my car to get a ride to that. Wait a minute…
