Linda comes out of country music, Jimi -- she'll (rather, she could) tell you hair-raising stories about some of the fellows in N'ville.

It's all "the record business."

"Look it up"?

I reviewed theater for 10 years (L.A. Times and Variety), did liner notes for boxes by Johnny Mathis, Judy Garland, Rod McKuen and Ann-Margret, and you think I have to look up "campy"?

With those credits, I could pass as gay except for two crucial factors; one of which is "grooming."

Tommy was on Stern this week and was quite good. He said that within the next 18 months, the book will be turned into a movie as well as a broadway show.

There's another book that covers the whole MCA cut out scandal well which ties Levy and Pisello (SP?) into the debacle. I think it's called Stiffed. read it years ago and it left me wondering whether I really wanted to get into this biz. Alas, passion won the internal debate. $\:\($
