Fairly at random, I’ve been reading up and watching a lot of Andy Kaufman recently and now I can’t get him out of my mind.
Genius or dick?
Here, on Fridays, an early ’80’s US television show, he introduces The Pretenders, or rather, doesn’t.
How much is planned and intended? The curtain pull for instance.
After the break, Andy has already effortlessly won back the hearts of a heckling and should-be unforgiving crowd… then treats them like children.
Funny, ‘The Pretenders’, as Andy is clearly the greatest pretender ever.
I really can’t figure out if I admire him, merely appreciate him or loathe him.
By the way, Andy lives, but fuck that.
Life On Mars?
