I may not have a dime
But I got street savoir-faire
Whoa, it's weird hearing that song again. When I was a kid I digged that song from Oliver and company - only I of course didn't get the Billy Joel treatment back then.
( START OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY RANT )
Okay, I finished Groucho Marx' autobiography Groucho and me, and phew, was that bad. Really bad. Just don't think about reading it. Whereas Harpo's collaboration with Rowland Barber, Harpo speaks! is the best autobiography I've ever read in my life. It's simply a beautiful piece of writing. I challenge any sane person to read it and not have their socks charmed off, or get a considerable lump in their throat when they read how he felt when he knew he could never play the harp again. You just try.
Well, I don't know where that came from. But hey! I recieved my Neverwhere DVDs in the mail yesterday. I've watched them once (not thorougly impressed, but that's what you get for reading the book first), and now I'm gonna watch them with Gaiman's audio commentary.
