“He’s turned his life around.
He used to be
depressed and miserable.
Now he’s miserable and depressed.”
Sir David Paradine Frost
(1939-2013)
British journalist, very smart guy
David Frost was, very
self-consciously, a pretty smart guy. He was very entertaining, if your taste
runs to very self-consciously pretty smart guys being themselves.
I suspect that David Frost was almost
always being himself and was never lonely, at least not much.
He was a master of laconic verbal
sparring, and rose to lofty heights when he interviewed the rich, the famous
and the otherwise. His Nixon interviews are educational.
I don’t know who he was describing in
the aphorism quoted above. Poor fellow.
David Frost, requiescat in pace.
