Pages : 274
Book Description
“On my own, living backstage in a Washington, DC, theater at 16, marriage at 17, fatherhood at 19, divorce at 24, twenty years in the burbs in a gay relationship with 3 kids and a live-in mother-law who stayed for 28 years, and a decade-long mid-life love aff air that is best paraphrased by the title of an old torch song that my beloved Aunt Tillie loved to sing after one too many vodkas – “Six Beers with the Wrong Kind of Man” gives you a sense of my story. Oh, there was the time I stalked and met Judy Garland; shared a couple of brews with Paul Newman at Carter’s Inaugural Cast Party, where I pissed Bette Davis off in one sentence and when I narrowly escaped becoming the hood ornament on Lady Diana’s Jaguar – beyond that life was pretty much a mundane walk in the park.” Tim Ricker
