Open Mic Night Guest: Phil Dennison
"Shame? " What is this "shame" of which you speak? Your moral concepts are frightening and confusing! You see, I may just be a simple unfrozen caveman, but I:
1. Totally dig Olivia Newton-John. Everything from "Please Mr. Please" to "Xanadu" to "Twist of Fate." I don't even classify her as a guilty pleasure, 'cuz I don't feel the least bit guilty.
2. I think Tom Cruise is one of the best actors of the last twenty years, and I think he gets a really bad rap from people who should know better. I think he'll be remembered by future movie watchers like we remember solid actors like John Garfield today.
3. I had a mullet in high school. A great, big puffy mullet that resulted from trying to get Duran Duran hair.
4. I have never, ever seen a single episode of "Beverly Hills 90210" or "Melrose Place."
5. I think "A Confederacy Of Dunces" is the most overrated piece of literary garbage ever foisted on the American public.

My brother tried to foist A Confederacy of Dunces on me. I struggled through the first two chapters, thoroughly nauseated, then gave it back to him and told him I thought it was utter crap that never would have been published if the dude hadn't offed himself.
If only he'd done it sooner.
But this Tom Cruise thing . . . I can forget you said the Tom Cruise thing, right? Right?
