my hero
other stuff:
i stumbled upon this gem of a monologue the other day. it was the opening lines of the movie "songwriter." (i had copied it down in a notebook when i rented it because i was so taken by it.) here's an excerpt, my favorite part:
Doc's ace in the hole in this world of wheelers and wackos and dealers and old obligations and too little time
is a burning commitment to living by his wits,
without stopping to work.
So far he's semi-succeeded,
thanks to innocence, audacity, and a flat refusal to let himself be out-gangstered by some fat guy in a suit.
