Stanley Crouch used to play a conservative on TV.
Actually, Crouch was a black liberal who was sort of against Affirmative Action before he was not especially for it.
He did! And he was a magnificent writer.
The last I saw of Mr. Crouch was in Shun Lee West Restaurant about 3 years ago. He was sitting with the Trustees of the Lincoln Center Jazz Festival. They ignored him while he snored loudly while sound asleep at the table.
He’s known as a difficult man.
