...thought that it would be hilarious if I did a “Risky Business” thing for the beginning, so she had me wearing white boxer type shorts and a big man’s shirt and crew socks and big sunglasses, and I was holding a hairbrush like a microphone….You are kind of at your chairman’s mercy.

...York City. What keeps the whole thing from turning into an orgy of deja vu is Shears. As he struts his way through the material, he radiates a completely original kind of magnetism.
