Peter Sellers : Still In My Brain After All These Years

Next month will be the 31st anniversary of the death of Peter Sellers. British comedian , actor and from what I have read and heard about him , a pain in the ass. Still made me laugh though. I remember this date because he died on my honeymoon. The news was on in my hotel lobby as I walked by when this story was on the news. The only TV I payed attention to that week. Peter Sellers , Monty Python , Spike Mulligan etc. We sometimes have been trained to believe that major events shape us , form our minds , direct us towards our destiny. Sometimes. At other times it really is people that make us laugh that shape our slant on the world. How we react , sometimes is best done by comedy. I remember a number of yrs ago my director was sitting at the conference table on a rant. After five goddamn minutes of his verbal bombast a Peter moment entered my brain. I wrote a note to the person next to : reminds me of Dr. Strangelove ! He understood. So I write this in way of caution......beware of what comedy you follow.....it may be the next biochemical trigger you create in that brain of yours.
