Is there such a thing as Steve-zen?
Hmm. Zen's all about practice and experiential wisdom. I would say yes, most definitely.
What R.E.M. song did SM inspire?
Electrolite. Also Martin Sheen and James Dean.
hmmmm, would Steve McQueen drink martinis? I always see him as more of a scotch on the rocks or whiskey man. I came across you while googling a Steve McQueen-esque beverage recipe to serve at a screening of Bullitt with me and my martini girls. Good read.
Hi, Meredith. I know what you mean. I would have thought the same. But I did a little research. Turns out he was a martini man. Which sounds perfect for your party! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for saying hey.
