Maybe Malik Turner already is great. It certainly depends on how broadly one wants to define the word, but he’s a professional athlete, he’s an active participant in the Seattle Seahawks’ charitable work, and he’s made a million dollars—if not a million dollars take home. I knew a guy who toured the West Coast with his rockabilly band a few times and his big claim to fame was staying the night at the home of Kevin Seconds. I know another guy, this one’s a real loser, named John Morgan, who treasured a four-figure book deal like it were fulfillment of his life’s dream.
