Outside Reading 4

Summarizing what happens in an autobiography is too tough. So instead I'm going to post some stories that are in the book that are entertaining. One of these stories is a story of a passionate night of love making. Remember this is the 60s and free love was the in thing to do. So after they got down to business, the girl asks if she can take Steve Martin's picture. This was early in his career and he was not famous at this time. Anyway he says yes and she goes to fetch her camera. As hes laying on the bed he sees a book lying next to the bed with a picture of Latino man shirtless. He picks it up and starts to flip through the book. The whole book is full of men, shirtless, sitting the same exact bed that he was sitting in. The girl returned to find an empty bed.

Another story is also a funny one. Steve was performing at a college filled with about two hundred students. When Steve finished his act, he could not leave the stage because the stage had no backstage or wings. As he started to pack his props, he noticed that none of audience members were leaving. He turned back to the crowd and said "Its over". Still no one left. He started to walk towards the exit that was on the oppisite side of the room and the audience continued following him because they thought that this was part of the act. Steve then led the audience to a unfilled pool and told the crowd to get in where he then tried to swim across them.
