Secrets from RFK Jr.’s Private Diaries: Women, Drugs and His Insatiable Need for 'More’ (Exclusive)

Just finished reading Jacek Dehnel's LaLa, a novel. A warm tribute to his Grandmother, written with humour, pathos and genuine respect for an extraordinary woman. I loved it. My eastern European roots reached for similarities and recognisable family discussions and experiences. A wonderful read.

#CurrentlyReading This is a pretty good read if you're into #TheCars. Most everyone who had anything to do with the band is interviewed. Love the chapters about the early years when #RicOcasek + #BenjaminOrr were ambitious but kinda rootless and unfocused. Also some insights into the industry's transition from bloated 1970s arena rock to garish 1980s video rock. Ain't always pretty LOL! 🎵 🎶 📖 👍 😁 #GregHawkes #ElliotEaston #DavidRobinson #ClassicRock #Music #Books #Biographies #PublicLibrary
