My Main Interest Is Just To Work

I Always Feel Kind Of Absurd And Presumptuous Presenting A Speech.

Many Of My Friends Back In New York And Elsewhere Have A Glib Or Dismissive Attitude Toward Los Angeles. It's A Place Of Strip Malls And Traffic And Not Much Else, In Their Opinion.

I've Been Friends With Madonna For Ever. In Fact She Was At My 3rd Solo Performance In 1990, And There Were Only 10 People In The Audience.

But At The Same Time, I Don't Let Myself Regret Things To The Point That I'm Paralyzed.

I'm Actually Cautiously Optimistic That Donald Trump Will Be So Bad That He Will Force America To Wake Up And Realise That Forcing America To Vote For Right Wing Republicans Is Always A Terrible Idea. It's Never Been A Good Idea, But What Happened Here Is You Have A President Like Obama Who Gives You Eight Years Of Relative Stability And Prosperity, And People Forget That Republicans Are Just Terrible, Not Just For The Country But For The Planet. Maybe This Is America's Equivalent Of Bottoming Out, Like A Crystal Meth Addict Going On One Last Big Run Before They Have To Get Sober.
