Been reading Bruce Dern's book, "Things I said, but Probably Shouldn't Have" and I really dug it.

He's always been one of my favorite actors, "Silent Running" "The King of Marvin Gardens" "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" "Coming Home" "Black Sunday" the dude just Rocks.

He seems like he'd be a great guy to hang out with. Funny, too.

I was hoping there'd be more on Roger Corman, but it really felt like I was hearing him talk about stuff he'd gone through, over a couple of iced teas and a basket of chips.

As I finished it, I hit play on a DVD called, "New York in the Fifties" and it made me want to go back to NY. I know it's not the same, but still you can't beat that city for excitement.

It would be great to find that click, that wave, that hotbed of artistic expression now; Our Beat Generation, our punk, our Factory...
