A tie: Robert Fripp on Enzo's 'Baby's on Fire' (nicely reimagined by Thurston Moore on the Velvet' Goldmine soundtrack), and Robert Fripp on Bowie's ´Fashion'.

Wish they'd asked about 'Masquerade".. My boss directed it…

I'm sure it would have been much better with a black actor playing MJ in whiteface….

I knew TONY a bit, right after the SNL days… He wanted to, do something together because he liked a thing I'd done for Sowtime/TMC with a gifted comedian who Inthink he kind of knew socially… This is, I'd never found him funny (and I was a BIG SCTV fan)…

Don't forget that he invented the Tie-In Soundtrack consisting of Pop Hits (and old ones at that!) with American Graffiti.

When I was on smack, we used to look down and scoff at those who didn't shoot up and therefore thought they were somehow safer, 'smarter', or most amusing of all, 'not an addict'.

Oh, yeah? Then what was Colin Powell holding up in that little vial, huh?

Quite so!

Quite well, my friend, and you?

Hey @Nathan, you might want to take another pass at this passage— Looks like an unfortunate Cut n'Paste fragment you meant to get back to:

And in so doing, defiantly cock your hat against all that is holy and nature itself!

Quite.

I have to say, the guitar lick in the NPR Tiny Desk concert is straight-out lifted from XTC's "There is No Language in Our Lungs" off of Blck Sea…. One wonders if Andy Partridge is aware, and how he might react to it.

She almost got me killed on that film (not intentionally, but still)…

I worked on The New Age, actually. I had almost forgotten….

As a lower-level "Hollywood Type" when the film came out, I can tell you that I neither felt nor was received as being 'affectionate' in any way. Distance (and other, lesser - and some excellent- satires having dulled it's then-daring bite.)

Movies! Today more than ever!

Lastly, Glodshifteh Fahahani may well be the most beautiful woman who has ever lived.

Also, fun fact: we French (sadly) have one go-to term fr English and American people (as well as Ozzies and Emglish-speaking Canadians, "Anglo-Saxons" (yes, I know…)

Just a word from someone who isn.ot only French, but also a director in the French film industry, Mike- "beaucoup", which might indeed mean 'a lot' in other contexts (particularly from a nationality that typically says 'pas mal' (not bad) to mean they really liked it, in this case means, "Nice try."
