Dead Actors

                                   I want only dead actors. That way there'll be no jealousy.

Where Did Everyone Go ?

Just 'cause i've stopped rolling sevens doesn't mean i have to cry
I'll take that nightcap, one more won't show
And incidentally maybe you know where, oh where, oh where
Did everyone go ?

Where Did Everyone Go ?
(Van Heusen/David)

It Was Too Early

            I drove back to Hollywood feeling like a short length of chewed string. It was too early to eat, and too hot. I turned on the fan in my office. It didn't make the air any cooler, just a little more lively.
