I'd love to go to some of these places.
And he's had some good roles in some fine films.
Will always be Carl Spackler to us, no matter what.
More like 50+ year career.
Murray and his eight siblings grew up in an Irish Catholic family.
Good man.
He was on this, that I had never heard of.

Any vodka kept in a freezer has an oily viscosity when it’s consumed. Problem is, too much vodka, or any form of alcohol can kill you.
I like Murray but generally I only hear drunks speak about drinking with such reverence.
To each their own I guess. I never developed a taste for it.
Alcohol is poison. Just finished reading a bio of Beethoven, whose last years were absolute torture for him due to his cirrhosis of the liver. The MDs description of the state of his organs during autopsy is horrific. He never listened to his doctors’ pleadings to stay off wine, Madeira, etc. and died at 55. Although, astonishingly, he composed some of his greatest works in between bouts of agonizing pain and suffering.
I’d love to go to some of these places.
It’s where you hear the best stories jokes and lies fun.
"When business people say, “Let’s have lunch together,” I always say no. You wanna talk business, we’ll talk business. You wanna have lunch, we’ll have lunch. But if you do them both together, you’re not doing either one justice."

There are a multitude of stories about Bill Murray randomly interacting with complete strangers. Most of them are true. Apparently he’s making a hobby of giving normal people a story to tell their friends he’ll never believe.
In fact, he snuck up behind a young man using the pee trough in a public restroom, put his hands over the strangers eyes and whispered in his ear, “No one will ever believe you.”
The startled young man turned just un time to see Bill Murray ducking out the door.
He photobombed a couple’s wedding shoot in Savannah on the steps of a historic church often used fot that purpose.
He went to the construction site in NYC where they were building the National Peotry Library and when the construction crew stopped for a coffee break, Bill read poetry to them.
He was at St Andrews for a golf tourney and he invited himself to a ‘kegger’ house party in the town. He went in, went into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started doing the dishes.
A young man who came in later tells the story of standing in line to get a beer but when he got to the keg, they were out of solo cups. He went into the kitchen to look for more and saw Murray standing at the sink, “doing the washing-up.”
There’s a dcoumentary film of these and more (which still is only a few of the stories in circulation) and all were confirmed either by someone actually there or Murray himself.
The name of the movie is “The Bill Murray Stories: Life Lessons Learned from a Mythical Man” and there are copies on those scurrilous websites I shouldn’t mention.
