#ChevyChase

I get that, maybe, Bill Murray is a difficult person from recent accounts.

But I stumbled on this and thought, "Someone who punched Chevy Chase and hated Rob Schneider and Adam Sandler can't be *that* bad."

This clip was followed by Bill Maher and Chevy Chase apparently chatting on some kind of chat show. Didn't watch it, obviously. I imagine Hell's only TV station would have this, Lawrence Welk, Tucker Carlson, and Friends reruns. Friends reruns without the laugh track to make it extra unsettling. At least, I would consider that hellish. Others may differ on this...

Next up was “Graceland” by Paul Simon. So good. My appreciation for Paul Simon has increased as I’ve gotten older. This album sounds like a conversation you’ve just wandered into it, and there happens to be a musician busking somewhere nearby. A story accidentally set to music. I think my favorites are “Graceland” and “Call Me Al” (loved since I was little b/c of the music video, although now I see Pierce Hawthorne dancing instead of Chevy Chase) 🤣

Actor #ChevyChase played drums in Bard college for a band called The Leather Canary. He left the band after a few months because he didn't think anything would come of it. 2 band members & classmates went on to evolve into #SteelyDan. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.
”Don sort of looked like a crow most of the time,” says Chevy Chase. ”He’d walk around with this beak of a nose and he always wore black clothing and looked down with his hands in his pockets. People thought he was kind of weird and quiet.

"Chevy Chase has less than 1 percent of the city’s dedicated affordable housing units, according to D.C.’s Office of Planning. Its residents are also overwhelmingly White in a city that is 45 percent Black — and that’s by historical design. Founded by Francis G. Newlands, a former U.S. senator and avowed white supremacist, the neighborhood kept Black people out for decades through racial covenants that barred their homeownership."
