Well, excuuuuuse me!

Steve Martin is sooooo funny! I can't ever get enough of him. You can never have too much of Mr. Martin, either. Like Mr. Rogers, but ridiculously hilarious and occasionally inappropriate. I stumbled upon this 2007 interview with Susan Morrison, reading from his new memior, Born Standing Up, talking about his life in comedy and clips from the past. Really good stuff. Mr. Martin is eloquent and humble. Additionally, Ms. Morrison does a great job of opening him up for the audience to get a better picture of this man, this myth, this legend: Steve Martin.Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.

Oh, and the last person to make a comment is Dick Dale, a guitar great - King of the Surf Guitar. Who plays this song: "Miserlou" - Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. This video is incredible as only those 60s clips can be. The dancing? C'mon! Flail about! The rockers? Rock! The camera? Whoooooooa! Slow down on those crazy cut-tos towards the end there; everyone's all crazy smiles on their guitars. One complaint - as awesome as it was - is that they didn't slow Dick Dale's fingers flying up and down the frets. Bummer.

Also, not really related to Mr. Martin - at all - Tina Fey as Palin interviewed by Poehler as Couric on SNL. Good stuff. Real good stuff. And, shocking as it may not be, many of Fey's words came from the real Mrs. Palin's mouth. How. 'Bout. That?!
