The Downside to a Vivid Imagination

Gary Giddins’ mammoth second biography of Bing Crosby focuses on Bing’s visits to the front during World War 2. It also tackles many topics from this time that saw Bing ascend to a truly rarified air: his wife, Dixie, his relationship with his sons, his immense correspondence, his affair with Joan Caulfield, blackface, the Road movies, White Christmas and much more. You can hear me review this book @cocktailnation and read the full review at my site. Link in bio. #bingcrosby #biography #book #books #bookreview #blogger #singer #radio #podcast

I tried to channel my man, Rick Dalton, today. My wife knew something was up when I was recently going through the women’s scarves at a thrift shop.

I finished reading my first book of the year, "Nobody's Fool". It was a long one, a "winter" book that was made into one of my favourite winter movies starring Paul Newman. Read my review of the book. Link in bio. #book #books #winter #paulnewman #review #bookreview #blogger #blog
What were you like as a child? "Rawhide"'s Eric Fleming was a tough little tyke. Before he was 12, little Eric had tried to kill his father and was shot by a gangster in Chicago. After "Rawhide", Fleming was filming in the savage Amazon River region. When the local Indians refused to ride the rapids, Eric got in the boat. Read about his tragic end.

I still can't believe that Eric Clapton is half-a-Canadian. In his autobiography, Slowhand talks candidly about the woman who raised him who he thought was his mother, knowing from the outset that Cream wouldn't last long, the years he wasted being wasted, falling in love with his best friend's wife and the tragic death of his young son. Read my review of his book. Link in bio. #ericclapton #slowhand #autobiography #book #books #bookreview #rockmusic #guitar #guitarist #blogger
