Can someone explain the Farah Fawcett reference

[KeyStone]

I totally didn't get it.

Thanks.

Joaquin Phoenix was a complete tool last night...looking like Jim Morrison in his drunken bearded poet days, to boot.

The reference is to a similar non-responsive interview Dave had with Farah. Try 'Letterman Farah Fawcett' on YouTube...should be there.

Don't forget it's daylight savings time. You spring forward, then you fall back. It's like Robert Downey Jr. getting out of bed.

Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman.

I couldn't find Farrah's latest appearance on Letterman...just an older one from 1997.

So that dish in the green-room... those weren't Tic-Tacs?

Someone suspects (or, at least hopes) that the performance was a gag.

I'd like to buy the world a gram

And sprinkle it with meth

Grow itchy pores and herpetic sores

And black night scarey death.

I'd like to teach the world to twitch

In psychotic isolation

I'd like to buy the world some Coke

and shun the mock adulation

That's the real thing.

TMZ claims that the whole thing is a performance and that Phoenix is making some kind of "mockumentary" of the whole stunt.

Or is that Phoenix, after realizing what he looked like, trying to put a spin on the whole thing?
