David Ehrenstein does another of his delectable commentaries on a story from The New York Times, this one called “The Mystery of Hollywood’s Dead Republican,” starring R. Gregory Stevens (right) and Carrie Fisher. When I first read that story — devoured it, actually — it occurred to me that my life is pretty dull. But never mind. Ehrenstein’s remarks are delish — i.e.: “… in the Fruit Fly Pantheon, Fisher’s right up there with Dorothy Dean — at least insofar as influence and ‘networking’ goes. (No one touches Dorothy when it comes to wit.)”
Postscript: And here’s Studs Terkel on Pete Seeger.
