Quotable
“About 10 years ago, on a train taking 30 cable television executives and their spouses from Portofino to Cinque Terre, a guy comes into the train trying to make some money playing the accordion. He was very talented but I felt bad for the poor guy as no one on the train was offering any tips. I pulled him aside and we came up with a plan. I took the accordion from him and gave him the hat to collect tips. I said you follow me with the hat, and I will play the accordion. I started playing up and down the aisles while loudly encouraging all the riders–especially the wealthy cable executives– to put money in his hat. He became a rich man in just a few hours.” — Mediacom CEO/Fiorentina owner (and accordion player) Rocco Commisso in an interview with ViolaNation
