    4:08 Carrie Fisher sings for 5 seconds. I have noticed, through obsessively scouring You Tube, that she interjects songs into conversations now and again - free associating lyrics as a tool or because of their subtext? Here she says her adolescent self observed that she was singing songs that she doesn't listen to. In Esquire May 1985 she mentions the reverie of blasting rock tracks. Heard a clip of her with Plastic Ono Band, but otherwise the American Songbook does seem to resonate with her for the lyrics that she calls upon.

    There's another segment of this interview where Salman Rushdie seems to shamelessly (or embarrassingly?) flirt with Carrie Fisher. Are there more clips to piece together a full length of this? Carrie Fisher, in other interviews, says that conversation is what she most values and that she likes the man to be older. Is Ruby Wax playing matchmaker/wing man? I also never knew that he was a UK version of Mad Men, but in the UK we would need a different moniker because Madison Ave is not the right pun. I am intrigued.
