Testimonials and Comments for Stephen
Steve has never flown a kite before that...and I have never done a rescue like that as a more experienced kite-flyer than he.
He saved 2 lives that afternoon. Or maybe 3, because if Elmo died I would have made sure that Steve went too....
I love it when I discover a hidden talent.
Happy 27th!! And base on this story I believe that the world is a better (or safer) place because you are around.
...I first met Steve when I was a little freshman girl and after seeing him dancing on stage in his tighty whities, he became my dreamy superman!
Since those days, Steve has shown that he is as honorable and strong as superman. He has never faltered in his focus to shed new light to the musicological world. As for physical strenghth and stamina, I have no doubt that Steve could alone pick up a bookshelf and when called upon, stay awake for many days and write many many pages about deep musical ideas and their relationship to alienlife and reproduction.
As I do have many shoes and coats, Steve has many books about many things...
...if you are or think you are Lois Lane, please call me at 895-3457 for an interview and possibility to meet Mr. Steve Superman Smith.
only bigger and smarter. So, basically,
he's a "super-me". He's one of those
people who can balance reading three or
four book per week and writing papers
that are somewhat relevant to those
books, being more than reasonably
involved in music (for someone living in
NYC!), consistently keeping himself
informed and aware so that he can
maintain a high level of outrage against
the W administration on the one side;
with a drinking ability that can put a
russian-irish sailor to shame, and,
generally, partying like he's still
stuck in a dorm in the middle of a
god-forsaken city (no specific reference
or anything). It's a very delicate
balance, sort of like the way a
super-heavyweight lifts and balances 800
lbs. over his head and the bar looks
like a parabola. He's also a great
friend who helped me kill a couple of
hours between a crazy party and a Sunday
morning church gig. What more can one
ask for?
The first is that I hold the coveted honor
of being the only girl-who's-seen-a-sock-
stuffed-steve-gyrating-within-millimeters-
of-her-nose. At least, I think I'm the only
one.... I'm not sure where else he might
have performed that sketch. He did
spend some time in Europe, and as we
all know, all bets are off when there's a
plethora of sheep about. What was I
saying? Oh, right... Steve can dance
good. And he also looks like Dean Cain.
A little. Oh, and I lied before. I've really
got nothing else to be too smug over.
Nothing that compares to that anyway.
Nubian goat in heat, the sound of a
Nubian goat giving birth to Christopher
Walken, and Christopher Walken, who may
or may not be standing next to a Nubian
goat in heat. This fact alone is enough
to make Steve illegal in 24 states.
Still, Steve presses on. As an
uncompromisingly ethical, post-bohemian
philosopher/critic with the rarest love
for words, one would think that Steve
would have no need for sound effects and
impersonations while he's off dialectic
hunting or connecting the dots between
Freud, Shoenberg and genitals. But
Steve always finds a way to work them
in. Just like he found a way to work in
5 degrees in 7 years (which he'd love to
tell you all about), and all while
maintaining impeccable classical guitar
chops and a secret desire to become the
next great white rapper. For Steve,
with bling-bling or without, I am
greatful.
Superman...except instead of
superpowers, he has Lacan...which I
suppose would really make him more of
a beatnik-coffeehouse Clark Kent...and
even though he may not save damsels
in distress, when it comes time to
disseminate the hidden Freudian
transcript latent in 19th century
hysterics, he's the man to call...either
way, he's totally my hero...even if post-
modern theory is my own personal
kyrptonite...
to my attention, and i felt the previous
testimonial could not go without this
addendum:
MOVIES AND COP PORN!!!
hours of persistent drunken
pestering, steve has finally joined the
friendster! people are sheep -
welcome to the flock! now to get you
onto myspace...
