"School of Rock" Screen Test Out-take #637
Yes, here it is: yours truly in his impromptu Halloween costume, thrown together very last minute. The only part that I didn't have already was the glorious wig, which Adele O. and Melanie Kudlak graciously bought for me just before showtime. The wig was actually an "Indian" wig complete with headband and feather, which I quickly removed. One of my students asked to use it for his costume. (How do you even begin to unravel the ironies of that situation?)
I was going for kind of a Ramones look, but most of the kids and staff thought that I was either Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, or Howard Stern. Perhaps a composite of all of them? I like to think that each of us has a little Ramone, a little Alice, a little Ozzy, and a little Howard in us.
