I remember when we were on 'Dick Cavett'!

Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.

We have this habit of romanticizing the lives of writers. I remember when I was a kid, I was like, 'I want to be Kurt Vonnegut.'

We had channel 7 on with Dick Clark and when the ball was coming down, she was coming out. Then five seconds later, she came out.

As it has been told to me, my Dad had some kind of deal with Dick Clark. But when we got here, that fell through. So we were out here with no job, no furniture, no food.

The problem is that literalization everything said!
For example Philip Dick.........,
when you heard the last name you probably laught didn't you???
(How do I know?? We will talk later about this!)
But the last name "Dick" is a short name for "Richard". (I don't get what's the funny!) :)
