Journo Remembers the Night He Pissed Off Pierce Brosnan

There is always, at Richard Rushfield‘s blog Rushfield Babylon, the guarantee that the author will tell it like it is, or was. Be the topic Nikki Finke, network TV singing competitions or, in this case, the Sundance Film Festival.

Rushfield wound up at the Bon Appetit Supper Club.
