Just to make sure this thread gets hijacked from the get-go, Cal, I think your current sig is one of your best ever.
IMHO, it’s time for another “CalMeacham’s Collected Sig Lines” thread.
I’m sorry to say but I think that the people who oversee the community service missed a trick.
They have a reasonably talented, world-famous performer at their disposal for 5 working days and all they can dream up is for him to pick up litter? Are there no after-school programmes in the area where he could have taught music to under-priviledged children?
When Eric Cantona was convicted of assault and given community service (on appeal), his talents were put to good use teaching children in local youth football programmes.
Is it because the US system is hung up on punishment?
