 Friends     | I go to ye ol’ American Film Institute for screenwriterin’. It’s like summer camp for makin’ movies, so I’m happy about it. I am a graduate of Colorado State University, where I double-majored in English and Journalism. I sometimes ‘fast’ accidentally, because I forget to eat. Then I get real hungry. And I eat. A lot. I have a neglected 12-string-guitar named Calypso, who now only has 10.5 strings, but I like playing her. I have a banjo who’s in perfect condition, but that’s because I never play him. I absolutely can’t stand the taste or smell of bananas. They make me nauseous. I’m not a picky eater…Rocky Mountain Oysters, Frog Legs, insects, whatever, I’ll eat it. As long as there’s no banana involved. Wasteland, by Dan Bern, is the best song of the past 15 years (live version only. The studio version sounds neutered). I think a lot of maxims are false, including ‘Don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it’ and ‘fair and balanced’ and ‘Just Do It’ and ‘got milk?’ |
