Women have periods. Get over it, Frasier!
Yelling at Kelsey Grammar, driving Paula Abdul's car, taunting Judd Nelson and more with Rachel
Any good idea is paired with the names of people who you know will only make it better. You know they’ll get it and have fun with it.
Rachel was on my list when I initially thought about launching this newsletter, and you’re about to hear why as she shares a few stories from her time working on the Paramount lot in Hollywood.
Many of us have had some kind of brush with a celebrity.
After singing about mythical creatures and self-esteem* for two hours, Ronnie James Dio hugged me and said, “Be good.”
My wife, Burgess, had to pick up the conversation with wrestling legend Mick Foley when I completely shut down as a human being capable of speech.
But I’ve never had the courage to yell puns inspired by a forgettable sitcom at Judd Nelson in a bar. That said…Rachel, tell me a story:
To everyone I've asked to tell me a story
One day I'll make the link
between what's in my head
with what's on the page
and ya'll will say, "Dude!"
Having had my say,
having been heard,
I'll walk into the sea like a turtle,
surrounded by the others who also
made their connections.
Your patience finally paying off.
I’d like to share this with you
Helping Women Period - donate to provide no cost menstrual products to those experiencing homeless or low-income disparity.
Good faith conversations with Nick Cave - Nick Cave’s substack The Red Hand Files is lovely, emotional and often instructive. In this post he talks about good faith conversations and how there is power in not having all the answers.
*I have an argument for why Ronnie James Dio’s lyrics are anthems to having self-confidence hidden underneath stories about dungeons and dragons. Perhaps for another day.
Very interesting and exciting career adventure!!
I love Frazier. rock music = self confidence 🤘sometimes. ☺️
