Yes. In case you didn't realize it -- and my apologies to those who've heard
me mention this before -- I wrote the title song to the film "Happiness."
I'm talking about the song sung by the youngest sister, Joy, and on the tail
credits by Michael Stipe and Rain Phoenix. I also have a cameo in that film
as the Angry Picketer, in which I speak the immortal line "There's fucking
management in there!"
A bit of meaningless triva: My voice can also be heard in "Palindromes"
intoning a Jewish prayer for the dead. This is one of the first, if not the
first, things heard in the film. And yes, this film has its share of
pedophilia, too.
