A rose by any other name is still a...lawsuit.


I’ve just got back from my agent Bernie Shimshewitz’s houseboat where he was throwing yet another celebration. This time the occasion was his victory in a 38 year court case with 70’s Country & Western Star Lynn Anderson. After almost four decades the dispute was finally settled when Judge Flannigan ruled that even though Anderson had politely denied it she did in fact owe Shimshelwitz a rose garden. Bernie was more than chuffed and as he took me out on the poop deck to show me the flowers I thought the emotion of the trial had got the better of him as his eyes began to well up. Turns out he’s allergic to roses. “I hate rose gardens Harrison.” He told me, “Especially this one. It’s shit. But a promise is a promise.” He’s right. I guess that’s why he’s still my agent.
