He shares a collection of personal vignettes, offering intimate glimpses into a life lived deeply within the arts. You’ll find stories from his Bronx childhood, his early days sharing an apartment with David Lynch, and the wild ride of fronting the J. Geils Band, all interspersed with encounters with cultural icons from Bob Dylan to Tennessee Williams. The experience feels reminiscent and deeply introspective, weaving together humor and moments of genuine poignancy.
