My Life Pretty Much Summed Up in 100 Words

Rate: 8 Flag

 

Conceived as unhappy surprise to jazz musician father and nice Jewish mother, at age seventeen I developed an uneasy rapport with my dad  because I bought him pot.  I followed him to New York City after graduation where he made a living selling cocaine to rock stars.  I slept with said rock stars until my mother died the following year.  Returned home to raise my younger brother; got married, had kids of my own, my kids grew up; in ironic twist now they hang with rock stars and all I want to do is sleep with said rock stars again.

The first line could be the first line of a novel...and if I picked it up, and read that line, I'd probably buy it. Even if it was only available in hardcover.
Wow....this does have all the ingredients for a best seller. I am looking forward to reading more of your work. Thank you for contributing and joining in on the fun! Rated. Can we be friends.....?
But of course. I still haven't quite mastered how this site works and appreciate the request.

And um, this little bio actually is the basis for my new book, Daddy Left Me Alone With God, which will be out early this year. Yeah, yeah, just what the world needs..another baby boomer rock memoir. But it was fun taking that dreaded walk back down mammary lane...

I am wishing I'd thought of the first line here as the first line of the book, damn it!

oooh, there's a book I'll want to read -- thank you!
SDR&R indeed...
Rated.
love the tags...they say it all.

I vote you sleep with rock stars...
Thank you all kindly!

And yeah, I vote "sleep with rock stars", too. Some things just never change.

How about a rock starlet? Wait that came out all wrong.
Daddy left you alone with Eric Clapton?
Honesty is a wonderful virtue.

Actually, Lonnie, the answer to that is Yes.

Ha ha - I'll let you know when the book comes out.

Greg, good to see you here. When I commented back at you last time, I'd been, um, drinking and I realized...or should I say agonized later that it came off all wrong. I meant that how cool I wrote about jazz and then you commented, after which I clicked on the bio of a true jazz dude. I don't know where you live, but if Eric (and or his sister, Julie) is ever in your city, consider yourself VIP'd and guest listed.
Wow a book too! Love the photo also.
But don't make them breakfast in the morning, they'll never leave and then their fans will get all blamin' on ya...
Fascinating! Welcome from one Philly woman to another.
