Warren Murphy was a friend of mine. He hangs out in a bar in
Virginia Beach. We had a few semi heated discussions as he is a staunch Ann Coulter fan. Haven't spoken to him in over a year. Hope he's doing okay.

how else to describe Joel Grey in Chinese Sage Drag, channeling the spirit of Splinter a full five years before TMNT is made?
