Casey AFFLECK claims the Joaqun PHOENIX thing was faked. JP with Dave on 9-22

[UTUSN]

No doubt somebody now will say they knew it all along. I found his LETTERMAN presentation to be disturbing both because of his great performances and his painful history, and didn't know what to make of the "cover" story about hip hop, like, was this somebody cratering in delusion? But now here come he and the brother-in-law with this elaborate other story, like something Orson WELLS might have pulled. It's all so "precious" in the literary sense of the word, as "contrived".

So will be be all spiffed up and "normal" with Dave? And even if so, is he acting now or was he acting back then? But while the media rags are asking whether he damaged his career and whether he can salvage it, I submit that it ain't nice to fool Mother Nature and other fans.

In tribute to him being on next week.

3. Yip, and the articles say he's sifting through job offers

My take is just that whether he's experimenting with pushing limits (like *that's* never been done before) or not, he seems to be one of those capable of cratering---well, everybody is...



On Edit: Danged laptop keyboarding (& my "proofreading") - left out the subject/pronoun out of the 2nd paragraph/1st sentence. Oh, can the keyboard be blamed when it's a whole word missing?!1 Whoa, just noticed the "a" was missing out of his NAME!1
