Still puzzling my way through Substack. Totally unfriendly process, but I’m muddling my way through it.
In the 80s I became friends with Bernie Sahlins, one of the founders of Second City in Chicago. Over the following years I acted occasionally as an attorney for the organizationa and also produced a comedy album for them.
The cast during this period included the Belushi’s and many other exceptionally talented comic geniuses including Lance Kinsey (Police Academy etc), John Kapelos ( The Breakfast Club, Roxanne, etc) and Rick Thomas. My band actually played for Lance at his wedding in Detroit. Through the years I have remained close friends with many of them.
Rick has his own blog, which I follow, and though lately he has slowed down a bit, I recently ran across an old entry which I saved for some reason. It was written when Bozo was mismanaging the pandemic and he was essentially responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. Not funny.
But at the time, Rick posted the following note. Ouch!
From Rick:
Hive mind --- I need some advice. Would it be better for me to drink an 8 ounce glass of Clorox bleach every morning, or more effective to eat oven cleaner sprayed on toast?
We don't have an ultraviolet light. Has anyone used a 100 Watt bulb as a substitute or do I need a higher wattage?
My drugstore is out of hydroxychloroquine. Could I just eat Hydrox cookies and swallow chlorine?
Thanks!
