If you're a celebrity, you can record an album at any time regardless of talent: see Paris Hilton and David Hasselhoff. But if you're Steve Martin, you can release a good album and play a mean banjo. You can also write best-selling novellas (Shopgirl) and a screenplay based on aforementioned novella. Steve Martin released an album in January 2009 called The Crow: New Songs for 5-String Banjo. So if you like yourself some good ol' Americana, check it out.
When I grow up, or more realistically when I grow older, I hope I can be a little bit like Steve Martin.
Here's a performance from 2007 featuring Steve Martin. Enjoy!
