Simon's Book

I finally finished reading Simon Cowell's book entitled ' I Don't Mean To Be Rude But ...'. It was easy reading 'cause it is not too long and it covers light subjects. Nothing much to digest. It' s show biz after all. What's interesting 'bout Simon is how simple his taste is .Completely pop music. No fanfare. Even his fav songs like Unchained Melody and She Loves You. For a guy so critical of a lot of peeps , Simon actually is nothing more than a regular guy with a simple taste . That explains his fondness for the t shirt versus the formal suit.
What is interesting about his life is the start of his involvement in the recording business. It's not like Wall Street careers where the top people are nomally grads of bigtime schools with law or finance degrees and an MBA to boot. In the recording industry , you can start at the bottom and rise to the top like Simon. Imagine that . You can make millions even if you are not a successful recording star. Just a good judge of talent like Simon.
