Doesnt Matter's Comments
I'm sorry but I could not finish reading this article because it is so poorly written. Does anybody check things out before publishing something? Here are a few examples from the beginning of the "piece":
"...Steve Glenn Martin was the son of a homemaker and a Realtor with aspirations to become an actor." The way this is written, it means that the Realtor wanted to be an actor.
"Steve’s father had temper and was not emotionally supportive, although he was proud of his son, Glenn Martin was also very critical." Should be written more like "Steve's father had a temper and was not emotionally supportive. Although he was proud of his son, he was also very critical."
"It was likely this cold relationship that drove Steve into his later career, as he sought approval from others where he could not get it at home." Really? You're not a psychologist, but you will play one on the internet, eh?

(Show it anyway.)
"...while he got off on a good start" I think you meant "to". Not poor writing, just poor editing.
"Rather than stick around Hollywood, Steve decided he would be better off touring around this time, which allowed him to hone his craft without fear of destroying his non-existent reputation." What does "this time" refer to? If he didn't have a reputation, why would he have "fear" about destroying it? This is just a poorly worded sentence.
"During this time, he went from being a hippy-looking kid with a weird act to being a straight-laced freak."
"Contrary to popular belief though, he was never actually a cast member on SNL, he has guest-hosted 15 times though." If you don't understand what is wrong with this sentence, I'm afraid you should just give up writing completely.
Oh, but you're right about the first point in my previous complaint. I misread that one.
