Dear Mr. Martin:
I have been aware of your work for 30 years. Even as a kid, with "King Tut" on the radio and the arrow through the
head gag, I knew you were different than other comedians of the time. Somehow, I genuinely connected with your
style even though the arrow through the head was definitely not aimed at me. It is ironic that in 2009, a new
generation of children can laugh at your work, since your comedy has become about the lowest common denominator in
almost every case.
There was not another Steve Martin when The Jerk established
you as a movie star, nor was there another Steve Martin in 1987 when Roxanne showed how graceful your comedy could be. There
is not another Steve Martin now, the star of The Pink Panther 2 - a has-been
who's perfectly content to embark on the film version of the faded rock
