I happen
to think Larry David, co-creator of Seinfeld and creator and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm,
is the funniest person alive so maybe it’s not all that odd that the
comedian recently made a guest appearance in one of my dreams.
Dream
Larry lived next door to me. We visited each other regularly. I talked with Dream
Larry in great depth about his career and his creative process. He was
perfectly accommodating and lovely. In other words, he was nothing like Real-Life
Larry.
On
one visit, Dream Larry and I could barely hear each other because of the abrasive
licks of a heavy metal band practicing outside the widow. We agreed it was repulsive and a blight on the
entire neighborhood. The next time I saw Dream Larry I asked him if he had done
anything to address the repulsive metal band problem. He said yes. He had
signed them to a recording contract. We both laughed uproariously. I told him
this would make a great plot for a future Curb episode. Dream Larry agreed.
So
Real-Life Larry, if you’re out there, feel free to borrow that hilarious anecdote for a
future episode. I’m not holding my breath though. Unfortunately, Dream Larry
also told me he wouldn’t be doing any more episodes of Curb.
