Last Friday Mel Brooks got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which shows that the planet is still in balance and sanity reigns in human affairs. Mel said once that the only way he had to fight the Nazis was to make people laugh at them. His masterpiece--or one of them--is The Producers but his life-long fight is apparent in all of his work. Fair Warning: Mel Brooks is now writing a musical version of Blazing Saddles--the campfire scene where the cowboys are eating beans should be particularly melodious.
In the Los Angeles Times recently Carl Reiner said that he and Mel were planning a new 2000 Year-old Man album. Who could ask for anything more?
