Has anyone else heard any of the recent interviews with George? He's got a new book out, _When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops_ and seems to be doing the circuit.

I saw him on "Inside the Actor's Studio" on Sunday, and yesterday heard him on "Fresh Air" on NPR. He did talk about his love of language, and the joy of words! Apparently he's working on a Broadway show, too, but he didn't really talk about that.

I heard him on the Terry Gross interview. He's a fine comic.

CW says, "George did talk about his love of language, and the joy of words!" Indeed.

. . . . . . . . .I'm aware some stare at my hair.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . In fact, to be fair,
. . . . . . . . . Some really despair of my hair.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .But I don't care,
. . . . . . . . . . . .Cause they're not aware,
. . . . . . . . . . . . Nor are they debonaire.
. . . . . . . . . . . In fact, they're just square.
. . . . . . . . . . They see hair down to there,
. . . . . . . . Say, "Beware" and go off on a tear!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I say, "No fair!"
. . . . . . . .A head that's bare is really nowhere.
. . . . . . So be like a bear, be fair with your hair!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Show it you care.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Wear it to there.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Or to there.
. . . . . . . . . . . . Or to there, if you dare!

. .My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Did I care?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Au contraire!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Spare hair is fair!
. . . . . . . . . . . . In fact, hair can be rare.
. . . . . . . . . . . . Fred Astaire got no hair,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Nor does a chair,
. . . . . . . . . . . . .Nor a chocolate eclair,
. . . . . . . . . And where is the hair on a pear?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Nowhere, mon frere!

. . . . So now that I've shared this affair of the hair,
. . . . . I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Do you care?
