The Friday Thing #781

Happy New Year….here we go again.

The Friday Thing #781 is another list – not from me this time but from Rick Rubin who I have received a variety of unsolicited links to over the last few weeks. I think it’s the universe telling me that I need to spend more time reading about Rick’s stuff. For those who are not familiar with Rick, he is the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, founder of American Recordings, and former co-president of Columbia Records. He helped popularize hip hop by producing records for acts such as the Beastie Boys, Geto Boys, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, and LL Cool J. But that barely scratches the surface as he’s also produced Adele and ZZ Top. Needless to say, he’s picked up some wisdom along the way and regularly shares this on Instagram with a quote every day…which then gets deleted and replaced with a new quote the next day. This is todays. Initially I rejected it, but then it made me stop and think. Anything that makes me do that is worth another look.??

Of course, the Internet being what it is, the Rick Rubin bot is another Instagram account that captures each of the daily posts and collates them. I love this one too:?

And to whet your appetite a bit more…..

Rock on Rick. A nugget of wisdom every day. Love it. Next week may be a bit more Rick, a bit deeper….

Happy Friday, everyone.

Cheers,
