The Bitter Life of Lash Larue

   Fame and fortune are no guarantees against heartbreak and tragedy. We often see some of our heroes behave in less than heroic fashion. Celebrity can be a cruel mistress. The movie star Lash Larue is a case in point. The poor man ends up arrested for vagrancy in a Miami bus station after begging a policeman "I want you to destroy me."
     Some time in your life they say you are visited by the Four Fates and they make certain offers to you. Perhaps you will be asked wether you prefer to be comfortable as a young person or comfortable as an old person. The choice will be yours.
   You might say " Gosh Smoothstar , why so serious today? " The Fates asked me wether I would rather be smart or a smart-aleck. I am just wondering if I made the right choice?
