The Wild and Crazy Guy Explains Everything
OK, not exactly.
Steve Martin wrote a memoir called Born Standing Up.
I love Steve Martin. I've seen clips from his wacky stand-up days and "get" the arrow-through-the-head gag. I was 18 before I knew what a placebo was, but I laughed anyway.
Ben Yagoda gave the book a pretty good review in Slate this week.
Janet Maslin didn't hate it.
I want to read it! (And I think Clo does and she'd better not buy it.)

No, I haven't bought it yet. It looks sooooo good. Have you read Shopgirl or The Pleasure of My Company? Very good stuff. :)
I haven't read either yet, but I will.
Very interesting book. And Steve Martin looks almost exactly the same.
His hair went gray prematurely. That's why.
