As I write this, I'm watching Oprah grill James Frey, author of "A Million Little Pieces", about the apparent lies in his book. There is something truly amazing about seeing someone torn apart by an icon on a national TV show. I didn't read the book, nor know much about it, but Oprah seems pretty peeved that James took huge liberties while writing what he claimed was a memoir. As a writer, I'm a little conflicted by this because I know how things can be embelished and changed to protect the people around you.
With that being said, I do have to get something off my chest. I never flew around on a giant dog named Falcor while saving the world from "The Nothing." I took it all from the movie "The Never Ending Story." There, now you know.
By the way, "The Never Ending Story" is one of the movies that I can watch over and over that I mentioned in Friday's posting. Yes, it's the one with the ironic ending.
Whoa, Oprah is just laying it on this sucker. So the guy made up some facts in a book, big deal. They've been doing that since The Bible.
Burning bush? Puh-lease...
