April Fools: Frank Oz and Dave Goelz to write new book together

[minor muppetz]

Frank Oz just tweeted that he and Dave Goelz have gotten together to write a book about themselves as well as Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and of course Jim Henson. It'll be titled "Us and Them and Jim", and each talent will get four chapters - two each written Oz and two by Goelz. Oz describes it as "part-autobiography, part-biography", and they will write about many of their favorite memories of working with them.

That would be cool though and possible considering Frank wrote the foreword for "The Sam & Friends" book.

Frank Oz has said that he's thought about not writing an autobiography, sometimes saying that his life isn't that interesting ("I wash the dishes"), and I think he's said that Twitter is a way to post interesting information without writing a book. But I feel a book done this way, with him and Dave Goelz contributing to various chapters, and not being a full autobiography, would take care of some issues. There was a Brady Bunch book where the first half was written by Sherwood Schwartz and the second half was written by his son, Lloyd, so it's not unheard of for a non-fiction book to have two authors.
