Uncle Tony’s

Management Tips & Jokes

Sample

You need to have passion for what you are doing. Uncle Tony always loved repeating this story about the building of a cathedral during the Middle Ages as an example of the attitude that makes a person successful:

A man came across three masons who were working at chipping chunks of granite from large blocks.

The first seemed unhappy at his job, chipping away and often look-ing at his watch. When the man asked what it was that he was doing, the first mason replied, “I’m hammering this stupid rock, and I can’t wait ’til 5 when I can go home.”

The man asked a second mason, who was carefully hammering the granite block, what he was doing. The mason replied, “Well, I’m molding this block of rock so that it can be used with others to construct a wall. It’s not bad work, but I’ll sure be glad when it’s done.”

A third mason was passionately hammering at his block, taking time to stand back and admire his work. He chipped off small pieces until he was satisfied that it was the best he could do. When asked what he was doing, the mason stopped, looked upward, and proudly said, “I am building a cathedral!”

96 Tears (1966)

By Question Mark & The Mysterians

This is a video from last Sunday, when I saw this group perform their hit song, 60 years after it first came out.

Video by Carol

Add’l Info

Question Mark and the Mysterians are an American garage rock band from Bay City and Saginaw in Michigan, initially active between 1962 and 1969.

Their name was inspired by the 1957 Japanese science fiction film The Mysterians. Question Mark was an eccentric figure, publicly stating that his soul had originated from Mars and that he once walked on Earth with the dinosaurs.

Question Mark and the Mysterians one of the earliest groups whose musical style is described as punk rock. Their music and imagery were highly influential on later bands.

The band in 1966 released its first and most acclaimed single, “96 Tears”, which became a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelled the group to a 15-month period of national prominence.

Question Mark and the Mysterians were unable to replicate that success with their later recordings, they did reach the singles charts on four occasions.

They disbanded in 1969, but have regrouped and released additional material over the years.

“96 Tears” was listed at number 210 on the 2004 Rolling Stone list The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
