Then click on over to the most recent post at “Below the Line.” I won’t bother attempting to describe it -- just go, and enjoy a really good read.
If you’ve got four more minutes to spare – or in need of filling – the current “Martini Shot” (from Rob Long via KCRW) offers some interesting and amusing advice from Hollywood to our new president. Rob’s insights on life above-the-line in general (and Hollywood in particular) are always illuminating, and this week’s commentary is no exception.
About Me
- Michael Taylor
- Born and raised in a rural pocket of the San Francisco Bay Area, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz clutching a degree in Aesthetic Studies. Armed with this paper sword, boundless ignorance, and a vision of Hollywood heavily influenced by the movie “Shampoo” (and seriously, what guy didn’t want to be Warren Beatty back then?), I proceeded to march on Hollywood in the spirit of a young man seeking adventure, a living -- and if Lady Luck deigned to smile upon me, perhaps a small fortune. Adventure, I found. A living, I made, but although Lady Luck has thus far kept me safe from harm on the road-raging freeways and bullet-riddled streets of Los Angeles, that elusive fortune remains but a shiny mirage on the road ahead. I'm now playing out the string on a thirty year career in set lighting, trying to hang on until the bitter end.
Those are both great posts. Thanks for the pointer.
