“These are memoirs of a kid born in New York City in 1925. His dad, George Senior, was a pianist, composer, and orchestra leader at Proctor's Vaudeville Theatre, and his mother, Helen, played in a classic dancetroupe. Hanky-panky ensued. They married, and I soon was the result...< br>
I write like I talk. A long time ago I tried making 'talking and telling the truth' one and the same. That isn't just difficult; it meanspainfully reviewing things you've been led to believe since you were a child. That's very hard to do. Like many, I have marched along adhering to conventions (sex, color, church, party, gang) without examination. There's a wonderful, protective 'togetherness' in that anonymity. You obeyor are damned, less joined together than stuck together. You become an echo rather than a voice.
This book is about what happens when you stop fearing and think.
I like writing, but warmed-over BS is not on the menu. You are the most important thing in life. Every phrase in the book – awkward or not – is how I think and question everything. I wrote every word as if we were sitting together. I want you to think, too...” – George Kennedy, from the preface
