Nilsson Schmilsson

No good can come from this grouping of people.

I finally watched the documentary on Nilsson, which was excellent, and this dude really stood out. yipes. It was really a treat to see footage of Nilsson, and hear his voice, and watch him sing. He seems so comfortable on "Playboy After Dark" that it seems insane he never played live. Plus that documentary makes Ringo Starr seem so fun! I wish he was my best friend, except then I would maybe be dead of a cocaine-related heart attack like good ol' Harry.

MidMoMoNi was really crowded last night. Basically sold out! I hope everyone enjoyed it.

    There are so many things to love about that Playboy After Dark footage - how a telephone appears near Hefner, how important big pillows are, turtlenecks instead of dress shirts, Nehru collared suits!!, the way that girl in the brown satin mini dress claps her hands, Angel sleeves. Whew.

  2. I thought Shock Corridor was great, thanks to you and Liv for the screening. I think Dave Chappelle stole his black racist sketch idea from this movie.

  3. thanks!!!! OMF and I were talking about the same thing when we got home last night. i was disappointed when he used the sign to lift that guy's hand up and made a statue of liberty reference instead of hitler. i think hitler would have been funnier.
