One time we dreamed of being a famous writer for all the famous people we'd meet, and especially the pretty women. That might have worked in the twenties, or Hollywood's golden age; but the bloom's off that rose because it seems all the famous people of our time can't read. We further suspect if most of what passes for the show-biz talent of the time tried to carry on a conversation, and especially the pretty women, it wouldn't go beyond significant others and sex. Certainly with our musical genius it couldn't even progress to songwriters as we doubt even today's hottest singers know who writes their tunes, except if they sue them for taking credit. Heck at least Gypsy Rose Lee tried to be an intellectual, and got zinged for it by Larry Hart, a double badge of honor. Really, it would be nice if the world had never heard of
melisma.
