We are seeing historic, record-breaking sales across all types of our accounts in North America for 'The Lost Symbol.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We were using the record as a tool to invest money into real estate all through the South, because we were living in an era where the South was changing.
I used to say, 'Are you kidding?' about some prices for collectibles. I don't anymore because anything that screams its era is collectible.
We still have pretty good sales, especially for the art books.
The record business has always mystified me. Sometimes there are reasons why things sell or don't sell that can't be understood by mere mortals.
This country-right-or-wrong business is getting a little out-of-date.. History is moving pretty quickly these days and the heroes and villains keep on changing parts.
The viewing figures for 'Lost' were huge. I don't think the viewing figures for 'The 100' are up there with 'Lost'; hopefully, they will be.
I made records in the past that are as traditional as any other country records that have been made, but at the same time the records have a contemporary slant on it too.
We have lost all our big Australian industries and icons, including Qantas when it sold 25 % of its shares and a controlling interest to British Airways.
American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.
The present in New York is so powerful that the past is lost.
