Sometimes working in a library has its advantages. Yesterday I was processing new books to put on the shelves, and what should I come across on the pile but Kevin Clash's autobiography?
I couldn't check it out Saturday, since the shelf date isn't until Tuesday, but I did make sure that it was put on hold for me. And once I get it I'm going to go through and find all the places Richard is mentioned. I did see a couple mentions while flipping through it - Richard passing Elmo on to Kevin, then later Richard joking that Kevin owed him "half an Emmy" when Kevin won his first Emmy award as Elmo, because Richard had been the one to give him the little red menace- er, monster.
There was another book that I processed called Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich. It's all about the problems various famous movie monsters have. Like the Phantom of the Opera. I mean, the poor guy; first he gets "Small World" stuck in his head, then "Pop Goes the Weasel" and then "The Girl from Ipanema"...
Richard probably would have liked it.
