I was supposed to type up my interview with Bishop Lamont but instead decided to watch the last half of the Red Sox-Angels Game. As Goodie Mobb once eloquently put it: “Decisions, Decisions.” After watching the Angels blow the game, I have decided to salve my wounds by watching old Woody Allen clips from You Tube. I trust you’ll understand.
The above clip, where Woody interviews Billy Graham, comes from a short-lived variety show from the late 60s. Part two, Woody on The Dean Martin show and a short film of him being interviewed by Jean-Luc Godard are below. In the meantime, Go Lakers.

if by “salve my wounds” you meant “celebrate our victory,” you chose a wise course of action, sir.
…and who, pray tell, are these “lakers” of which you speak??

The Lakers? They’re a group of nautical-minded young men who have gained recent notoriety for their ability to traverse the Great Lakes in record time–sans electric motor. I’ll be attending their Winter Polar Bear retreat to help them pen a new and improved Port Huron statement, so as to top the infamous “compromised second draft.”

If only he had retired 20 years ago. If you think about it, he actually spent the majority of his directorial career making crap.

This post rules. I never knew he — or Billy Graham — were so quick on their feet.
