Mediocre man with exceptional taste. Always fighting to stay curious. I like long, slow, cathartic songs. Mostly an escapist wander.

this particular anecdote from Boorman's Adventures of a Suburban Boy about Lee Marvin getting belligerently drunk at Jack's on the Beach never fails to make me laugh
"He was staggering, drunk. I begged him to let me drive. 'Fuck you.' He drew back a fist. He had a whole repertoire of violent gestures, many of them cribbed from his hero, Toshiro Mifune. I tried to grab the keys, but he slashed me with his imaginary samurai sword. These were movie blows. They stopped an inch short of your neck or chin. I snatched the keys and got into the driver's seat, the women in the back. 'Get in, Lee.' Another battle of wills. How could he meekly submit, this warrior, this conqueror? We pleaded with him. He stalked and staggered around the car, raining blows on it. Finally he found a way of saving face. He climbed up and crouched on the roof rack. Despite our entreaties, he would not come down. I decided to drive slowly down the length of the pier, hoping that the cool ocean air might sober him up. I stopped as we got to the public road. I got out. He snarled at me, would not get down. I was at my wits' end. The streets were deserted. I drove slowly down the Pacific Coast Highway towards Malibu. Flashing lights in my rear-view mirror - sirens. I pulled over. The patrolman approached the car, warily loosening his revolver holster. He looked up, then at me. 'Do you know you have Lee Marvin on your roof?’"

The degree of difficulty here is no doubt through the roof. Yet there he is looking both timeless and of the moment.

Might help if author knew where Maye was drafted. Rams and Patriots also played in a Super Bowl before the recent one. It was a kinda famous jumping off point for the Patriots.
