Leave It at That

Brigid called yesterday, says she’s down to 161 pounds.  She’s coming by tomorrow to pick up her Christmas present and her birthday present from last September which she said she didn’t want to pick up at the time.  The reviews came from England and they were bad for Bad. Stupid people like Frank Rich can write four pages on some nothing movie, but about Bad they just describe what it is and leave it at that.  Don’t they know what their job is?  To say what something means?  I read the reviews and it sounds like the censors didn’t take out the baby being thrown out the window the way they threatened they were going to.

Ahmet and Mica Ertegun called to invite me to dinner at Gallagher’s that night for the Traamps, a thirteen-member black group on Atlantic that was going to be playing at Roseland.  So we went there and the best thing at Roseland was a girl with real gold - like 14K - fingernails that you buy and she got my number so she’s going to call to get interviewed in Interview.  She’s a famous singer.
