here's a lovely shot i found one night whilst pearldiving in the vast waters of the web. i have no idea who should be credited for it... i do know that the young man is terry jones. isn't he just gorgeous? i think he's the best-looking member of monty python, hands down. i've known 'python' all my life; and when i was younger and sillier, i think eric idle was my fave... but as i grew up, i realized terry jones was truly 'the fairest of them all.' they were all like big brothers or cousins to me. us. even now, if i'm feeling anxious or blue, just hearing some 'python' sets my central nervous system at an almost instantaneous peace. jean-lucien and i used to borrow 12" vynil comedy recordings from the public library when we were children, and we'd listen, hand in hand, in the humid summer carolina air, to those five familiar english voices, and fall into a cheerful sleep.
