HE was lucky enough to live off and live within a mostly healthy Hollywood atmosphere (spiritually, creatively, economically) for 50 years, starting in mid ’70s Manhattan and alighting to Hollywood in ’83, shifting into big-time journalism in ’91 and eventually leaping upon my own independent online platform horse starting in ’98, launching HE in August ’04 and then gaining strength the following year (i.e., earning better and better ad income) and continuing flush into the late teens and very early 2020s, when Covid and woke terror killed everything.
Thank you, oh loving and merciful white-bearded God, for the difficult but wonderful lusciousness of that life…a life that I lived on a day-to-day, hand-to-mouth, West Village and WeHo rumblehoggy + worldwide festival travels + Vietnam and Argentina + suede lace-ups + 4K UHD Blurays + heavenly granddaughter + excellent health + Prague touch-ups and hair plugs + the blessed unbuttoning of 175 blouses.
