For years I have wondered "where did motivating start" and "what was the genesis of motivating" and "who came up with the idea" and so forth.
The problem was this. The St. Pete Seed clearly motivated. People from the Cleveland and Ft Lauderdale seed ask "WTF are you talking about".
It finally struck me like a bolt of lightening. Art barker didn't have a fucking thing to do with it. We, us seedlings, appropriated it from religion and introduced it into the seed on our own. And from there it grew into the monster you see here
http://www.thestraights.com/video/motivate.rm In fact, I was there when it happened. But our motivating was a little less extreme. We snapped our fingers and shot our hands up and down rapidly. The Straight brand of motivating was just more of the same, and formalized. This explained why "motivating" occured in the St Petersburg Seed, but not in the Cleveland Seed. And how the Straight got it.
It was our gift to you. That is, us St Pete seedlings.
Now, watch the video again. pay particular attention to the arm actions of the participants and the looks on their faces. then please, make a comment.
