    Well, it is brave to come out or break racial barriers as well as being a first responder. There are different versions of brave, and they apply to both, not one above the other. There should be no need to say one is brave and one is not, they both have an amazing amount of bravery and courage.

    I bought a 1977 baseball cap because Dame had one in an instagram. I'm ashamed and proud.

    I've been known to buy a guitar if I see someone playiing one and I like it. I saw Jessie Colin Young playing a Parker guitar and I wanted one, now I have one. Bought a Peruvian Charango after seeing an Andean Folk band with one, etc. Not so much with sporting goods. Maybe the Louiseville slugger I had as a kid or the Chuck Taylor kicks but not so much anymore.

    I think a guitar is different - if you see a great guitarist with a particular guitar you figure it's a good one, right? But Pepsi is sugar water whoever promotes it. And there are really not big differences between sneaker brands.

    As a kid? Yes.

    Now? No. I rarely watch television broadcasting with advertisements. Even then I'm aware of their selling techniques. I don't care who's pandering the product. I will buy the product if I really want it or I won't. It's that simple for me.
