I think as a convention, as a conflict that the characters have to face, it's compelling.
as a story device.
And it's also, I think, compelling in life, you know, like in general.
So that's probably why.
I don't think it's by design either.
I think I've adapted a lot of pieces that are by people that are thinking about death, not necessarily myself.
Like the Woody Allen movie where
The seven-year-old is upset, and they ask him why, and he says, the universe is expanding.
He says, don't talk about stuff like that.
Mom gets mad at him.
It's him as a seven-year-old.
Yeah.
He was really popular in the 60s.
Oh yeah.
He represented like hippie culture kind of.
And Roy Cohn.
I mean, that's way before my time.
I think that, yeah, I think that just knowing Roy Cohn, no.
And knowing about Roy Cohn, I never knew him personally.
You need the song, yeah, of course.
