Don in Runway Runaway

[Fan_For_Life]

Anyone read this book yet? I'm halfway through it. Went down state to see a couple bands play and met the author Lorelei, she was having a book signing party. She's very nice.

Not yet. Anything interesting? How much ink does he get?

Ooooh, please let us know whether it's worth the purchase. I typically abhor books such as these because I dislike "insider accounts" from third parties, but if he's a significant character....

By the way [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Runway-RunAway-Backstage-Fashion-Romance/dp/0981542204/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250697310&sr=8-1"]here it is [/ame]on amazon.

I realize this is not even a pipe dream but more of a capillary ambition... and still, I so fervently wish Don would write one...

He gets good ink throughout the first half. I believe I've come to the end of his involvement. I'll probably have it finished by the end of the week. Seems they were involved for a good ten years, off and on.

Thanks, FFL. I'll put it on my reading list. The last time I read a book like this I was less than pleased with Don's depiction. Sounds like this one is better!

Sometimes she writes as if she's a significant inspiration for his writing. She met them in 1973 and soon after that runs into him again and again throughout with him being the provoker. Some parts she writes as to say, "if only I knew better" which I guess is not surprising since this is suppose to be a "help" book.

I give her credit of having known and the time spent with him, however it is only her account and she was very young when this all took place. Now she does claim to have contacted or tried to contact persons mentioned but doesn't mention who she was able to contact or not.

I finished the book last night. I may read it again just to see what I may have missed while scrolling through looking for familiar names. Don is mentioned one more time toward the end. She had an interesting life. Her dad in the end asked the question I had before reading the book "Are you a groupie?"

Hasn't everyone with any fleeting Henley affiliation claimed to be the inspriation for a song or two? Thank you for the update though; I'll have to investigate.

On a not entirely unrelated note, soda may we discuss your new animated avatar? Are you trying to prompt a heart attack first thing in the morning?

Hey, I'm just getting into the spirit of the Video Survivor!

I love it too, Soda! So sweet!
