Magnum TA: a refreshing interview
« on: January 08, 2011, 08:34:00 PM »
Here's a rare instance of a man who was on top of the business, had it all taken away by forces beyond his control, and is not the least bit bitter about it or the industry:

I've watched/read quite a bit about Magnum over the years and he always comes across as a classy guy.

Talk about a lost jem. I don't know he was still around. He had such a good career going until that automobile accident in late 1986.

It's funny listening to guys with half the talent and no where near the problems, complaining about money, never making it etc... and then hearing an interview like this. He's had so many physical problems and still is successful, but some guys have to work into their 60's and blame everyone but themself.

Exactly.  And the fact he is so thankful for it.

Some say the Horsemen were behind his accident.
