I guess I know who I'm dressing up like for Halloween, because today I...
...was Danger Diabolik for a photo-shoot!
I love the comic book and the Mario Bava film, but I think I'll be, "Diabolentz!" Running around, jumping, cartwheels over a car and other things in my suit today, I realized I can be someone else! Maybe I'm tired of being me! Relaxing later and listening to David Cross' "Open Letter to Larry the Cable Guy" I discovered something pretty cool, to me anyway! First, let me say, I love David Cross. He helped me out two times early in my career when he didn't have to, and others wouldn't. Very generous! I think he's brilliant! Now, listening to this audio from his book, I didn't know who Larry the Cable Guy was in real life. I knew it was a character, but what I didn't know was his real name (Dan Whitney) and that he was a reoccurring guest on my radio show back on The Edge in Dallas! I still have the tapes, before he was Larry the Cable Guy and may upload them in a few days, they are very funny! Check out David Cross talking about him! And watch Larry the Cable Guy here on "60 Minutes!" http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4948849n Now, I can't say I hate Larry the Cable Guy, but he's not my kinda thing, however I did like Dan Whitney a lot! And just knowing he's made Millions by aiming his comedy at the simple minded is pretty awesome! I too, would one day like to siphon big money from the lowest common denominator! Knowing Dan like I did, I know he's a really smart guy to pull this off! An inspiration in many ways. He became someone else to succeed. Maybe I need to become someone else? Oh, now check out the trailer for Mario Bava's fantastic film "Danger: Diabolik!" from 1968 starring John Phillip Law and Marisa Mel.
