I've been having trouble writing the Woody Allen piece I want to write. In the meantime though, my cousin David — author of this fine book on Mr. Allen — appeared on the radio show of our friend Paul Harris and explained a lot of the things I was going to say. Give it a listen.
I will say for now, I'm disappointed in how hysterical some discussions become on social media. A person ought to be able to oppose a specific piece of civil rights legislation without being branded a racist. A person ought to be able to say they think Donald Trump is a bad president without being called a Trump-hater. And a person ought to be able to say they think Woody Allen is not guilty without being accused of siding with all the folks who have been accused of sex crimes.
While you're over at Paul's site, check out his disappointment with Stephen Colbert giving over a large hunk of his show to Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop line. My reasons are the same as Paul's.
