Harry Shearer - "Not Enough Indians"
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread...
Actor Harry Shearer reads an excerpt from his novel, "Not Enough Indians."
This clip contains explicit language.
-----
Meet the residents of Gammage, NY, a town so far down on its luck that WalMart would rather site its new store in the middle of a lake than in Gammage. Mayor Zorn and the rest of the town council are on the verge of declaring the town bankrupt, when inspiration strikes. Why not petition for Indian Tribal status and open a casino? With the gears in Washington appropriately greased, the ink is barely dry on their Tribal certification when Gammage is transformed into the sovereign nation of the long-lost Filaquonsett tribe.
It's only a matter of trading in their housecoats and galoshes for buckskins and moccasins, and boning up on their tribal lore and ceremonial dances, until the "Council of Elders" is ready to import some casino backing and gaming know-how...Funny, smart, antic, and scathing, "Not Enough Indians" is a brilliant ensemble piece mixing misadventure, hilarity, and the great American dream, from actor, musician, SNL cast member, voice of The Simpsons, and now novelist Harry Shearer.
Carl Hiaasen writes, "Harry Shearer has one of America's great satirical minds, and he's in beautifully wicked form with Not Enough Indians." Harry Shearer's nationally syndicated radio show, Le Show, has been on the air for sixteen years, and his political blog runs in huffingtonpost.com - Cody's Books

David Byrne, narcissist and quasi-musician, gets labeled a renaissance man and yet Shearer, far more talented and varied with gifts, because he's too political (?) gets typecast simply as a cartoon voicemaker.

Another, not entirely unlike like Hiaasen and fellow-National Lampoon and Spinal Tap alumn Christopher Guest, in a long line of underappreciated, not-so-well-known brilliant minds. Best wishes, Harry. |
