This guy was so much more brilliant than Edison.

In some regards, Edison was a punk and a copycat.

But a better salesman and businessman. Tesla was a genius - but the world we live in was mostly built by mediocre minds filled with drive and focus, not by troubled geniuses.

The Story Of My Life.(Pere Ubu)

I was born in Miami, Florida, in 1953.
First thing I did was crack the back of my head on the floor.
I stepped on a bee when I was four.
I slammed the door of a `57 Chevy on my hand when I was six.
Little did I know that darker clouds were gathering on the horizon of my life.
That’s the story.
That’s the story.
That’s the story of my life.

Later on.
Messing around in the backyard. I was nine.
I stumbled onto the secret of Anti-Gravity.
It’s such a simple trick, I said to myself, I hope I can remember.
Instinctively I knew that trouble was bound to come.
That’s the story.
That’s the story.
That’s the story of my life.

Still later I met a girl named Sue. Only daughter of the football coach.
I liked her.
I think she liked me.
Her family moved to Toronto.
Naively I said to myself, Why that’s the story of my life.
That’s the story of my life.
