[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Steve was a totally different person! He was reading HEMINGWAY when he and Miranda met. He was complaining about the NYU kids wanting to talk about (I can't remember what, I'm sick, some philosopher or indie band). Why did they Flanderize him? Is that a statement about how we lose ourselves when we get older - or did they just forget he's not an idiot? (See also: Dean on GG.) [/quote]

It's been like 20 years since I was into it but wasn't Steve a bartender and lived in squalor? Bartenders are generally all unmotivated dummies who quit college. The mere act of pissing adulthood away at a dead-end servant job with no health insurance and no retirement proves you're an idiot. Pretending Steve's some erudite bartender because he had a book in his hand is pretty cringe. :roll: [/quote]

This is so stupid, but I’ll reply anyway. I worked in the restaurant business in NYC when the show was in its heyday and I knew lots of very well-educated bartenders. One restaurant group I worked for had a corporate beverage department staffed by a bunch of Cornell grads who had all previously worked as bartenders. I’m sure this is just as true today as it was then, perhaps even more so, as artisanal cocktails and mixology have become such a thing. [/quote]
