Notes and Meditations

Tony Hendra, probably best known for playing Ian Faith, the band's befuddled manager, in "This is Spinal Tap," recently released a memoir called "Father Joe: The Man who Saved My Soul." The book recalls his long relationship with a monk who influenced him deeply.

I heard Hendra interviewed several weeks ago on NPR. I thought then I'd probably like the book. I still haven't read it, but Greg Dorr has. He hated it.
