James McNew on Becoming a Man

Yo La Tengo bass player James McNew pays tribute to the recently-departed Bernie Mac in the latest edition of his online column, "On the couch with James." Opening up about the impact made on him by Mac's film, The Original Kings of Comedy, James says:

To me, the movie was about growing up and accepting responsibility, and how it really ain't all bad — you can do it, we all can do it.

I'm not entirely sure I can do it, but I will take these comforting words of wisdom to heart. Thanks, James!
