My mother again thinking about Bobby Darin. Everyone knows by now that my mother is in love with Bobby Darin. Every Every Single time I see her she remarks on how unfortunate it is that she has fallen in love with a dead man.
I’m not sure if she is in love with Bobby Darin. I think she is in love with Kevin Spacey playing Bobby Darin in Beyond The Sea, a movie that she has seen on dvd no less than 68 times by now. And yet she still can’t get even one line of the song straight. For her this is the whole song: ‘my lover stands’ and then she adds ‘waiting for me’. And why not.
I know, that’s my hair.
