Stories I only tell my friends.....


by Rob Lowe. BY WHO? Rob Lowe. Yes. The actor Rob Lowe. I have two sisters and it is fun to mock with them. Unfortunatly they are quite good at mocking back. My sister found me a hand-me-down Rob Lowe biography. Since I was a Rob Lowe fan millions of years ago. I actual read the book. He's not a bad writer, ok, let's make it a compliment. He can write. It is an easy read, a bit funny, and he keeps you interested in what comes next. But really, 300 pages Rob Lowe's life? Even if it involves romances with Natasja Kinski, Princess Stefanie and friendships with Charlie Sheen, Mike Meyers and Jim Belushi.  He's a bit full of himself (or is that allowed in an autobiography?) but wants to come across as a genuine and modest guy. Oh well, I got what I asked for I guess, an autobiography by an actor. And the book made me curious to some of those old movies; About Last Night, the Outsiders. So I watched that last one, by Francis Ford Coppola, over the weekend. Scruffy old rock'n roll music, greasy hair and cool cars. Handsome actors (yes I'll give him that). All a bit over top, but entertaining. And sometimes that is just good enough.

And did any of you knew that TOM WAITS features in the Outsiders as well? Well he does.
