I just looked at my notes scrib bled during the Steve Martin con cert Monday night and realized that my editor expects some sort of cohe rent, rational review of an evening of comedy. But how do you review a profes sional lunatic? Besides, yo,u know all the routines. You’ve heard his million selling album “Let’s Get Small. You’ve seen him make outrageous balloon animals on the Johnny Car- son Show. (“This is a puppy dog. This is a Venereal Disease.”) You’ve heard your friends proc laim themselves “Wild And Crazy, Continental, Ramblin’ Sort of Guys,” over and over until you want to punch them in the face. Besides, why should I have to sit in this office in the middle of the night writing about these weirdos in the audience talking the routine with Martin? At times it sounded like a religious chant. Anyway, who cares what I think, right! Do you really care that I though the movie that started the show, “The Absent-Minded Wai ter,” (written and starring you- know-who and nominated for an Academy Award) was one of the stupidest and funniest things I’ve ever seen? Review Do you even care that I learned something? I mean, I was wonder ing where my cat was getting all those damn plastic toys I keep find ing under my bed. I’m sick of my editor anyway. He expects me just to turn this stuff out, to put down in words how hysterical Martin is when he juggles oranges, when he spills water, when he sticks his tongue through a napkin. (Did he really do all that dumb stuff and did I really laugh until my sloi hurt?) I’m having a difficult timetyi too. I know the rule about revii events in altered states o( sciousness, hut I confess I was last night. My escort wassmal were both small. And now I i reach the typewriter keys. But it’s okay. I’ll do myd tell you how fantastic, invent purple, clairvoyant, sexy, andu fully funny Martin was. I’lleiil how talented and entertainingSt Goodman, the warm-up guili and singer, was. I’ll even forgive the nextguysi comes up to me with Happy F* But if you expect me to here and make an intel analysis of Steve Martin, I msi refuse. I absolutely won’t doit So get mad. Write letters b| editor. You think I care? Oh, no. My editor is backinfj He’s sticking his hands outinij familiar position. I know wl starting to say and I can’t ta “Well, excuuuuuuuse me Ag Dept, heads announce!
