"The Barney film reminded me of a `Saturday Night Live' short film during the last year of the original cast (1979-1980). It was also in black-and-white and starred Bill Murray. He played an alcoholic homeless man who lived outside a theater in NYC. He fell asleep and dreamed that he was called in at the last minute to star in a Shakespearean production. He essentially did a short medley of pat Shakespearean quotes, was applauded loudly, and was given a flower. A policeman then woke him from his sleep and told him to move along. When he left, he left behind the flower -- just like in the Barney film."




"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
