And In Closing: Tom Freston was too fucking cool for Viacom

Wall Street media analysts know it, Sumner knows it and the hundreds of underlings who came together to say goodbye to their creative leader and stink up the Viacom lobby know it. Tom Freston was just a cool motherfucker. What big media CEO hangs out and kick it back with the who is who in entertainment and we mean the who is who. If you were to scroll through Tom Freston's black berry, (That is if Viacom security didn't confiscate it) you'll probably see contact info for folks like: Diddy, Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, 50 Cent, Eminem, Kanye West, Jay Z, Beyonce and just about anyone who graced the TRL studios. Viacom wasn't ready for a cool cat CEO. They wanted an old suit, who is all about sucking Wall Street and stroking investors every chance he gets. Not Tom. Tom would rather hit the Bowery Ballroom with friends to check out a hot band or jet to Miami for a Diddy Party. So we want to take this time to officially say..........Tom Freston, you are indeed the media industry's coolest motherfucker!
