First of all: "Slide into cultural obscurity." Hardly. All of us on the list are living proof that that is wrong. Excise that immediately, if not sooner. Second: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go to Cornish or Stamford or anywhere else, it is none of your business. The Esquire writer 2 years ago also thought this was clever or necessary and nothing could be further from the truth. If you care for the work at all, leave the man alone. Even if you don't care for it, leave him alone, please. Those are my ideas. I apologize profusely for my tone, I really do, but it's extremely late and I wanted to point you away from what (in my opinion) is absolutely the wrong direction, disastrously so. rick
