Tom, that was an amazing testimony. I too came near to death: 4 months in a coma, 35 days in ICU (a record at Cedars-Sinai). 1.5 million dollar Medicare bill (God Bless JBJ)...got last rites twice. So Tom, you've come through a lot and gone through a lot, but you have a secret of life you have not shared. It is the most amazing aspect of your career, your come to Jesus moment, your amazing ability to survive...the question we all want answered, the secret we all want revealed: How To Fuck Did You Sell 100,000 Video Posters? Love, Rudy
