You just come in for the spotlight…and good for you, and thank you for bringing in some eyes but that’s not what this business is built on. So if you want to be a Cyndi Lauper and come in and manage and put the spotlight on us, then that’s great, put the spotlight on us. But I don’t want to put the spotlight on you, nah nah nah.”
