Actually, I recognized the quote describing Eowyn.. what was the rest of it? Off the top of my head it went "..like a lily in the first bloom of spring, caught untimely by frost..." no, that's not it. Anyways, I thought it brilliant and original to pull a "dead" quote out of such an unexpected place. Take a bow. <P>Now to read that article, thank you, Elijah seems both intelligent and refreshingly normal from what I've read of him in the (recent) past.<BR>********<BR>Okay, just read it. Kid's too smart for words. Having finished an idealistic fantasy adventure epic that will imprint that role on everyone's minds for the next three years at least, he's already cultivating and broadcasting 'hip' 'modern' 'dark.' Playing up the music geek angle for the Rolling Stone. Sounds like he has a good agent. <P>The RS seems tobe cynically hunting for the ways this young guy will crash and burn in his success, trying to predict the manner of it.<P><UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Difficult relationship with your father, eh?<BR><LI>Going overboard with the women yet? No?<BR><LI>Not much of a party boy, eh? Only vice is clove cigarettes, okay, you'll miss <I>that</I> ride.<BR><LI>Limited high school social experience.. hmmm.<BR><LI>Cutting the ties with Mamma just when the fame really hits, eh?<BR><LI>So you gloss over the darkness by being open but distant, eh? Don't like to look too closely, don't like to bring it into the light even in your performances? <P>Aha. Gotcha.</UL><P>RS guy smiles smugly to himself: this is gonna be spectacular. Only his Mom to keep his feet on the ground (and that's going by the wayside), the social whirl is new, and he doesn't like to look at the worst in himself, not enough to keep it in check...<p>[ April 08, 2002: Message edited by: Marileangorifurnimaluim ]
