You could have mentioned Peter S. Beagle's short story "Two Hearts", which was a sequel to "The Last Unicorn", but you didn't.

Sometimes, when I think of all the characters of the Greek Tragedy that was the '60s - JFK, RFK, Nixon, Wallace, Johnson - Humphrey seems to be the only human being in the bunch.

Wait…the British producer got shot?

Edwin Booth as Julius Caesar

AV is just now covering this? This made the news last year.
Let me join in with the people who had contact with Beagle and his manager on The Last Unicorn tour, and before. (During that tour, the manager asked for volunteers to put them up for the night.) I found Beagle to be pretty sharp (and one of the nicest people…

Then, driving home, I heard Buddy Edmonds, master of the slide guitar, died last month. (Did the AV Club cover that? I didn't see it if they did.) I saw him play with Danny Gatton in what…

Meet the "Soup Nazi" character at a minor league baseball game signing autographs. I don't know why he wanted my autograph, but he was very nice.
