It was kind of fortunate to have spend an hour with the "Big B." before being exposed to his charismatic and stage presence.

And instead of some regular 15 minutes his patience had even lasted long enough to enable an excursion into the American culture and lifestyle of 2004 including what he calls a fake war down in Iraq.

And of course provocation is a fine tool to combat one of his biggest enemies in life, boredom, so that knowing about what to do in the future seems to be more scary for him rather than providing comfort.
