Steve Martin: A little Ode, Fashioned

I put the comma there so you'd get it.

If you've never heard Steve's Comedy from the 70's, you owe it to yourself. This man filled arenas with tens of thousands of fans, and now he doesn't do standup any more. He unquestionably went out at the top of his game.

If he didn't seem like such a nice guy, you'd be envious of his wide talent. Author, actor, musician, comedian, meta-physicist; the list goes on. With his accomplishments he's earned the right to be a Jerk, but he's just this guy we know and love.

Now that decades have passed, new generations should discover his now 30-something year old works. Some treasure from the resting place of 'King Tut':

I guess I wouldn't believe in anything any more if it weren't for my lucky astrology mood watch.

• I used to smoke marijuana. But I'll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . But never at dusk! Never at dusk, I would never do that.

• You know, a lot of people come to me and they say, "Steve, how can you be so !@#$ing funny?" There's a secret to it, it's no big deal. Before I go out, I put a slice of bologna in each of my shoes. So when I'm on stage, I feel funny.
