**OH MY GAWD, BECKY…** Most famous **DOPER?** It’s obvious that it’s a double meaning, damnit. It’s Timothy Leary posting from beyond the grave!!! Or Ken Kesey!! Tune in, Turn on, babies…we’re gonna drop out! Oh, and if it is Billy Joel, you ain’t tired. I still love the hell outta you. ---

Right, you amateurs… \ Lessee now… I’ve sung before sold out audiences in concert halls from London to Istanbul including two performances for Queen Elizabeth II and one for the mayor of Rome (whose name I’ve forgotten), I’ve been on television in over a hundred countries (including close-ups) several times, I’ve had my own statewide radio program, I’ve had over forty thousand people watch me perform live in Hyde Park, I’ve got two CDs out on commercial release and am recording a third one next spring… I get around a bit, me. 🆒 All true, too. In a way. ---

It sounds like several of you are way out of my league, but I have been profiled in _Forbes_ magazine, quoted in the _New York Times_, and wrote one of the articles in the _World Book Encyclopedia_. My new children’s book has sold about 15,000 copies so far. My specialized nonfiction books are very well known in their field, but it’s not a very big field 😉 I haven’t been on television, but I’ve been on the radio quite a few times. ---
