Dictators I haven't known
I can't stop thinking about Mark Morris. I asked our photographer to take a picture of us, which I've NEVER done, ever, with any famous person! We leaned in and smiled, or I did anyway, but the photographer had just snapped her last frame. "Aw, shoot!" I yelped. "Do you have a pencil? Can you make a quick sketch?"
She didn't have a pencil.
"Oh well," I said to Mark Morris. "I'll just add it to my collection of pictures that don't exist of me and people I like."
"Like you and Papa Doc Duvalier?" he asked.
What? Yes, like me and Papa Doc.
My cousin got her picture taken with Paul McCartney a few years ago, when she worked at Capitol Records and he stopped in. She turned at the wrong moment, so it's a picture of smiling Paul and my cousin's hair sweeping across her face, but she framed it anyway.
