lovers of classic Hollywood

 This guy whose interview channel I've been listening to on You Tube, Harvey Brownstone, is a Canadian retired judge.

Now, this is a way to "retire"! - The conversations are fascinating.

        Some people might tune in to this channel and then write to my blog and say, "You listen to the weirdest stuff!"


Mr. Brownstone said, in his Joel Brokaw interview, "people who watch this channel are lovers of classic Hollywood."


He had the conversation with Joel Brokaw because Mr. Brokaw's father Norman was a show business agent in Hollywood, and the son, Joel, wrote a book about him.

        A lot of the guests on the channel have a book out, so that's part of the interviewing process - promoting their book.  But the conversations are really interesting, because they go way beyond that.


Some of the people he has on, worked with "ghostwriters" to "do" their book. (...My idea of a ghostwriter:  a white sheet with big dark eyes, hovering above an office chair, focused on a computer screen with a stack of pages....)
