In one hour, it's the Fran and Dan Show at Benaroya Hall! Tickets are probably still available—we're at happy hour before we head down there, so I'm not sure. But you should come! The prospect of these two people on stage is awesome, in the sense of the word that includes a little bit of terror.
Here is one more bit of this Fran Lebowitz interview that got left on the cutting-room floor.
THE STRANGER: [Here we were discussing modern-day manners, or lack thereof.]
FRAN LEBOWITZ: ...the way people dress, and you have to look at them. Shorts—shorts is a big thing with me. Shorts on men, which is a thing, of course, that didn’t exist in my childhood. You know, it didn’t exist.
You never saw a man’s legs.
I happen to have a father who wouldn’t have considered it. But sometimes, in someone’s backyard on a summer day—not in the middle of New York City, no.
How do you feel about sandals on men?
You know what—I have to say that in the case of sandals, I feel equally against them, men and women. They’re worse on men.
How against sandals are you?
Well, I would say I’m more against Rick Santorum.
But only marginally so?
Marginally, yes.
