My love of the movie "The Idolmaker" and its songs has been a source of shame over the years, but no more! I watched it again with TK the other night and it's still good. And it turns out the songs were written by this cat, Jeff Barry. Jeff Barry? That name sounded so familiar. Turns out, he's that guy Kate Sullivan has been raving about in her blog. He wrote a ton of famous songs and supposedly was the one who really sang the "Sha la la la" part, mimicking Van Morrison's voice, on Brown Eyed Girl.

A few years ago I took a screenwriting workshop with Eddie DiLorenzo, who wrote "The Idolmaker." Strange old guy...Go and rent "The Idolmaker" if you haven't seen it already. It's pure fun. It's not that deep or nothin'. Directed by Taylor Hackford too!
