I use to be pretty obsessed with Norman Mailer when I was a kid. I even got the Library to order me a documentary about him. It was on 16mm and the poor old lady librarian had to wheel in this giant projector for me to watch it.

What a strange kid I was...

I really wanted to be a Writer in the worst way as a kid and to me He was a great big WRITER. But spelling and grammar and lack of ideas got in my way and has prevented me from attaining my dream.

Ever see this? Norman Mailer vs Rip Torn - on camera brawl from the 1970 film, MAIDSTONE.
