recalling the 70s “cuddly wiseacre”
who presented as a progressive Democrat
came back from substance abuse in the 80s
had an impressive run of films for awhile
careers don’t stay at the peak forever
then the movies got smaller
a TV series was short-lived
and the “cuddly wiseacre” began to curdle
engaging in transphobia and other hate rants
climaxing with chasing New Englanders
away from a screening of the classic JAWS
but enough people applauded and stayed
to ensure more performative reputational destruction
at public venues for the foreseeable future
