This was certainly an eye-opener to me. But now that I've read it, I'm going to try and put it out of my mind as I don't really want to envision it. I keep seeing the Jack who sits court-side at The Lakers Games.
It sounds like it could very well be guys who just wanted to be around the coolest-acting dude in the room. (Famous football players probably get this a lot.)
And Nicholson could totally act like he was the coolest-acting-dude in the room, without even much trying, I think.
David, I saw the interview Sunday morning, (and it may very well be viewable on-line at CBS News). You're totally correct.
BTW, this "misleading piece" actually didn't "lead" anywhere, because it was so sloppily written that I for one couldn't tell what point (if ANY) the writer was trying to make quoting from this interview.
