I'm gonna get out my VHS of the A&E Biography of Twain and see if it gets
the job done as well as Burns in less than an hour. Probably not, but it's
been some time since I saw it, and this a good excuse to see it again. I
don't remember any banjo music in it. Unlike Terrell, I'm afeard of banjos.

Given Burns' intended audience, he does deserve a pat on the head for
avoiding the Disney trap. Still, if it had been a term paper, he'd have got
a C+ from me.
