""people are the way they are as a result of things that have happened to them, therefore to understand Jackson C fRANK , IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT HIS LIFE, do you understand this Michael or is that confusing for you.""

What attention to the things that had happened in the lives of his audience did Frank give, before deciding that he had a right to harangue them for their inaction in respect of a situation that most of them knew little or nothing about, and for which none of them bore any responsibility.

Singing a song highlighting the tragedy of Biafra was fine. Breaking off in the middle to harangue the audience was not! NO ARGUMENT, it simply WAS NOT!.

Maybe fool is slightly too strong, but it wasn't exactly the action of an intelligent man who intends to pursue a career, to send an audience home feeling either bad about themselves, or mad at him.

A very good way to resign!
