I can’t say it was how I imagined it.  No, the way I imagined it was far different.  It painted a different picture.  First of all, we were all about 8 years younger.  We would be walking down the red carpet, Alyssa Milano on my arm, (Natalie Portman not being of age yet.  Come to think of it, my girlfriend wouldn’t have been of age yet either) and Cheryl Crow on Shane’s.  Jordan, of course, would not be there, strictly out of protest over the immense commercial success we were about to experience.
