was flipping around the channels last night and caught a documentary on
Warren Zevon on VH1. The show is called (Inside)Out and repeats on Tuesday
at midnight EST. He's had a camera crew following him around since last
fall. Lots of studio time as he completes his last album with visits from
Don Henley, Bruce Springsteen, etc. who pop in to record with him - clips
from his Letterman appearance, etc. He's leaving this earth way too soon but
on his terms. Here's the link:

also trekked out to the movies to see Camp. Having been enamored with Don
Dixon since the Arrogance days, I had to catch him on the big screen. He
gets screen time aplenty I'm glad to report. He's a boozed-up washed-up
Sondheim type who hasn't had a hit on Broadway in years who's hired to
direct the kids in various summer productions. The teenagers run the gamut
from the OCD pretty-boy to teenage drag queen to chubby girl who's parents
agreed to send her to camp again but wired her jaws together first so she
couldn't eat! Teenagers with typical teenage problems. They rounded up a
bunch of talented kids to belt out these Broadway tunes. Steven Sondheim
makes an appearance & has many mentions in the credits. Danny DeVito is an
executive producer. Praying Mantis is heard in one scene and the rest is
Dixon well, seemingly "acting" like Dixon, southern drawl and all. I liked
it so much I'm gonna go right down the street and catch the 9:10 showing in
a bit. More info:
