Did you know when River was born his family name was Bottom?  His name was River Bottom. 

I found myself fully engaged in this...Luke Daniels did a phenomenal job with the narration.  He can do a wide range of voices really well.  Chronically his life from just before he was born up until his death at the age of 23 outside the infamous Viper Room.  Filled with both humor and sadness plus little bits of information about the many actors and musicians that he worked with or might have worked with if he wasn't taken too soon.  

One of my favorite movies of his, A Thing Called Love, is the one that did the worse at the box office.  Sadly, I think the character he played in that movie was a little too close to what was happening in his real life and it was also his last completed movie.
