The Monday Morning Memo

3:35 or 3:34AM: “25 or 6 to 4”
appeared on Chicago II and was written by organist Robert Lamm.

When asked the meaning of the song,
Lamm said, “It's not mystical. It's about staying up all night writing a song.”

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more?
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

Random Quote:

“We know from existing research into cognitive science that good decisions are the product of
1. proactively articulating assumptions,
2. structuring hypothesis tests to verify those assumptions, and
3. establishing clear channels of communication between stakeholders.

(In every Uncovery with a new client, the Wizard of Ads Partners are trained to do precisely these three things.)”
