as well with all this seriousness i love comedy... in movies &
stand up. if you'll notice the books i like, a few of them are
biographies of comedians. i believe that in every great comedian
there is a profound awareness & with that awareness...
sadness.
if you havn't already noticed some of the best actors are/have been
comedians.

Hicks
