When I was 10 we were bombing Vietnam. When I was 20 we were bombing Libya. At 30 we were bombing Bosnia. At 40 we were bombing Iraq and Pakistan. When I was 50 we were bombing Iraq and Syria. Now I'm ~60 and we're bombing Iran. Just like me, this shit is getting old.

This was the Rivoli in NYC. 50 years ago this AM I was in a car with the nervous director of “Jaws” and Albert Brooks heading over there. The director wondered whether there’d be a line. There was. It went around the corner and far beyond. He really hadn’t known this could happen. What a day!
