Joe Sang’s phone cannot stop ringing. I am impressed by the battery in this modern-day auxiliary brain, which seems to announce, “I am a busy man.” There was a time it wasn’t like this, when perhaps he could go several days without charging his phone. He lost it all before, you see. Did his phone stop ringing then? He remains elusive with the answer. What happened? He was embroiled in a court case that dragged on for years. You know how it is. The wheels of justice turn slowly.
When he came back from the dead, he arrived with the knowledge that, in the end, it all slips away. Your money, your possessions, your career. Poof! Gone. Now, like Steve Jobs returning to Apple, Muhammad Ali returning from the years of exile, Jesus Christ rolling back the stone—he hopes his legend will be built on a man who had it all, lost it all, then built it all over again. A man who, depending on who you ask, came back from the dead.
