Have a Weird Day

"This is column-writing the way it used to be before newspaper guys sobered up and became respectable. But what do you expect from a guy who wrote poetry while working as a venereal disease investigator for the city health department? It's no wonder William Stage can write so convincingly of characters like bar-room brawler Francis 'Red' Rush, or legendary junk picker Johnny Rio, or wrestler Joe Ramirez, the Mexican champion. This is good stuff, 180 proof."
