The best thing I've seen on the Internet lately is Eric Idle's Greedy Bastard Tour Journal. Mr. Idle and a small troupe are traipsing about this continent for a series of one and two-night concerts, performing material from his days with Monty Python, plus other equally-smart songs and sketches. Throughout the ordeal, he has been posting a diary of his experiences, complete with flashbacks to other moments in his life. I expect all of this will be compiled into a book at some point but you can read it for free, one day at a time, by going to this page and scrolling about halfway down. If you start reading at the beginning and go forward, you will probably get hooked and not budge from your monitor for about the next hour. So don't click on that link until you've been to the toilet…unless, of course, that's where your computer is located. As Merv Griffin used to say of every single guest on his show less serious than Everett Dirksen, "He's a funny, funny man!" (Oh, yeah. There's also a tour schedule on that page, plus links to order tickets should The Greedy Bastard be roaming your way.)
