Sean Penn, Rap, etc.

[William Daniel Walsh]

Dear Ben Freeman,

Sean Penn = "great artist"?

Do you have anything kind to say about _The Crossing Guard_?

(Or are we just considering his acting ability?  In which case, do you
have anything kind to say about his performance in _Casualties of War_?)

Also, some might be interested to know that our good friend DFW
collaborated on a book about rap back in '90:  _Signifying Rappers:  Rap
and Race in the Urban Present_ by Mark Costello and David Foster Wallace.
