Awesome! Love Neil’s ability to cut straight to an insight and use it to tell a beautiful story! Bang!
The thing I always admired about Neil was that he went to Cannes every year. But never actually went there. He stayed in a five star hotel in St Paul de Vence above Cannes and people would drive up through the hills to visit him. Invariably, the tab would be picked up by the Poisoned Dwarf, who was enamored of him. There aren’t many of us left.
