Yeah, you lost the Dolly battle with the important idiots, but you won the war with one of the two best ledes I have ever seen on the wire. I won’t try to get it right because it has to be just right, but please share it here. PS the other one was by Bernd, when Poland was being destroyed from within. It went something like this: “Josef Strauss was awakened at midnight to a fire in his living room, bombs going off in the neighborhood and the sound of distant gunfire. And then the nightmare began.” But he had an orgy of content — I mean try and screw that up. You both 1) stuck it to the man and 2) used their pearl-clutching fears to cook up something that turned out even better. SHARE SHARE SHARE.

I appreciate not just the stories but your writing style as well. I have missed reading your blogs and other writing. Thanks for sharing your writing and these great stories with us.
Love reading about your colorful career and the amazing people along the way!

Fantastic as always BG!
Nice job Fella. Apparently, you still have it....
PS I have a photo of me with Dr. Ruth at the Clinton inauguration. Should you ever need it, just say the word!
If they are all as GREAT as this one, you have a winning substack on your hands!
And who better to interview these icons than a boy from Indiana? Each vignette sparkles. Bravo.
Your stories make me smile and that is priceless. At least, to me!
