I wish I could embed the video but a neat behind-the-scenes look at the Sunday Morning program.

Admiral Ackbar speaks: The Erik Bauersfeld interview – YouTube
Very cool. He didn’t even know why he’s a cult icon since he doesn’t know the movies. Amazing how some folks’ bit work carries much further than they imagine.

Where Are They Now?: 7 Protest Songs With Legs : The Record : NPR

So this profile of Brad Pitt fit right into the weekend. You see a lot of these stars and kind of envy the money and fame, but rarely do you genuinely think, “hey, they might be a decent person to hang out with.” And hell, Pitt could probably be putting on another act, but that’s the impression I get with him.
So it is nice to see someone like him succeed given all the obvious rat bastards out there.
