"So what i want to know is how lame was this issue of Playboy that you actually got around to reading the Streisand interview?"

Ha!

When I worked at the Bill Holland/Joe Bell shop, one fine day in the mid to late 1990s I went to toss some trash into the dumpster, and lo and behold, there were several 1970s-era Playboys in the dumpster, so I retreived them. I didn't get around to actually "reading" them until later, around 2004. And, I tossed them into my apartment complex dumpster a few years ago, so, who's reading them now?

Are you, Billy?...Billlllly!...Open the door Billy!!!...

PLAYBOY: Well, what IS perfection to you? STREISAND: Perfection is like a wine velvet snapdragon or a tuberous begonia, the smell of a gardenia or the texture of a just-ripened avocado. A Galle blown vase. A piece of Walter or Argy-Rousseau pate de verre glass. A painting by Van Gogh. A child when it's born. Perfect is too small a word for it, it's a miracle. It's God. It's mind-blowing, it's more that perfect. And yet it shits and pisses. There's no such thing as perfection, because everything seems to fall apart sooner or later. PLAYBOY: Have you ever done anything you thought was perfect? STREISAND: I don't think so, and probably if I did, I wouldn't like it, because it would be too sterile, too inhuman. Because what I believe is perfection is imperfection. (Interview from "Playboy" Magazine, October 1977, page 198)
