WORDS FAIL ME

This week I mourn that the body politic of America has been diagnosed with cancer. We need new stories to help in treatment. Back next week.

In this moment of sadness new beauty is hard to imagine

But dreams broken have still been dreams. We remember them as we wait for the new ones

In pain we find ways to remember and sleep provides new dreams

Because death is always present

But life goes on and on

Ready for a book filled with my stories? Check out Stories I’ve Been Meaning to Tell You. It’s a book filled with adventures, pleasures, pain, and a guy learning how to come down stairs the hard way. Andy Romanoff’s memoir chronicles his screwed-up years and how he survived to transition out of them. Filled with colorful storytelling, Romanoff takes you along for the ride as he makes a meaningful life for himself without ever turning his back on the person he’d been or the places he’d come from. “Stories I’ve Been Meaning to Tell You” is a wild tale; getting thrown out of five high schools; stealing cars and motorcycles; getting tossed in jail; finding his way into the sleazy end of the film business; being there for the invention of Gore Films; spending time with counterculture legends like Ken Kesey, The Hog Farm, and Nick Ray; then slowly learning about love, life, and death as he becomes a reluctant success. Come along for the ride as he slowly learns to accept success, friendship, and family without forgetting the hell he raised along the way.
