the industry thanks to his alcohol problems. For a comeback, he decides to direct his own movie, but his alcoholism leads him to drunkenly turn the film into a bizarre musical. Hm, some of that sounds familiar.

"I describe it as very semi-autobiographical," Dick says. "Like, yes, I left my friend's house one time, and I was so drunk, I said, 'I'll see you later,' I'm leaving, I've just gotta go home -- and then the next thing I know I'm behind the shrubs in his front lawn waking up to the sprinklers. I wasn't naked, but I wound up naked -- I have worse naked stories than I put in the movie."

Oh really? "I have this one story where my dad caught me and a friend of mine, not only naked, but on top of each other doing some Greco-Roman wrestling or something. And my friend's puking. And we're naked. And my dad's standing in the doorway, and it's the wee hours of the morning, and he's getting ready for work, right? And he just turned and walked away.

He laughs loudly, almost as a way to stop himself from saying anything further. "Oh God, I don't know what I'm talking about."

The film? Oh yeah. Dick's favorite part seems to be the musical sequences. "Two years to write it, and believe it or not, I started writing the music first," he says. "I started writing this messed-up music that was really odd, and I knew that it was going to be part of the movie-within-the-movie, once it turns into a musical." The structure of the film was such that it didn't matter what the songs were about: "I knew that they would be easy to insert, because it doesn't matter, because the story can be as F-ed up as it needs to be, because by then the wheels have come off and my character's out of his mind.

"All of the music in Danny Roane's movie set dream was written by me and my friends. I work with all these great musicians - Andrew Sherman, Kim Walsh - and they do the music and I ...
