Did Some Whale Get Washed Up To Shore? So I Stood Up On The Table To See What It Was, And It Was The Director, Brian De Palma, Standing There Alone By The Surf And They Were All Waiting For Him. And I Never Forgot That Because It Represented To Me What A Director Is, What A Director Does.

Larry Grobel Has The Illness Of All Writers, He Can't Help Himself. You're Talking To Him And All Of A Sudden, You Say, "he's Puttin' That In His Cash Register!"
