    I refuse to give up the word “dapper.” I think it’s a lovely word that I would use in fact to describe YOU. I would also use it to describe Gregory Hines, who you referenced in an earlier show. I’ve missed him for many, many years and was very pleased that you mentioned him.

  • Great Fun

    Great fun - honestly things I rarely think about so good fun to even consider eg butt vs genitalia - can’t move in a restaurant now without thinking about that. Obviously Ill advised is now in the big time - made it into the New York Times. Stay small and humble !!
