   Rick, darling, someone’s got to do it, and I thank you. On behalf of Cooper and myself, thank you.

   Plus: it reminds me of the absolute chaos of that 1979 Tut’s Treasures Tour and of one of my all-time favorite aesthetic pronouncements.

   The stupefied throng was milling about and shoving and craning toward a vitrine containing a golden shrine. Half the people were in that audio tour-induced haze, and the remainder were just tired and crabby.

   And then the one guy came out and said, “Man, that shrine is flat-out bad!”

   Oh, Sheila, let me always be the one and forgive me everytime I do it.

   “Let Me Always Be the One (And Forgive Me Every Time)”.

   There’s a song in there somewhere.

   Thank you, Rick! I loved this performance (and I had — and maybe still have — the 45 rpm single). If I remember correctly, Martin was on The Tonight Show just a few days later, performing the song on roller skates.

   This routine had a very lasting affect on the bboys/breakdancers on the west coast and helped create a whole style of dance. great steve martin.
