The Fusco Brothers by J.C. Duffy for August 22, 2022

he could have mentioned Shelley Berman.

Shelley Long was great in Cheers.

Shelly Berman was the best

What I wouldn’t give to sit down and have Beers with Ernest Borgnine!

If she had started out differently, he’d have had a chance to tell her about the two parakeets he had as a kid.

Nelly Kelly, reading Shelley, eating Botticelli Jelly…

Whenever I try to read Shelley’s works, I despair.

I wonder what she’d say if I said I was better at Keats. Probably get an exclamation point over her head.

He would have thought her even better in The Night of the Hunter. A 1955 b/w. Going to have to watch it again.

Better in “Lolita.”

That could lead to shelley shock.
