Rockstar vs MVP
Obviously, not all MVPs are as humble and giving as Dale Murphy, some behave more like the stereotypical Rockstar, i.e. the way Ozzy Osbourne once did, who lived so self-destructively that “even his hard-partying Sabbath band mates … kicked him out of the group in 1979.” Similarly not all rock stars are so self-destructive, some of them have more of the spirit of the MVP, like Bono, who in 2006, New York Times columnist, Tom Zeller Jr, branded “the face of fusion philanthropy.”
