Description
Still Singing, Somehow will make you laugh, cry or maybe even angry at times. It is about one man's life as he fights through alcoholism, prison, traveling all around the world, married life and finely peace at the end. As a singer/songwriter, making music for a living is a difficult, often destructive life. That, and the stress and trauma of two divorces, a disabling injury, estrangement from his son, and ever deepening financial problems eventually bring Rideout from all those highs to the lowest of lows.
Thirty years later Rideout tells his story to an Arizona prison bunkmate while serving a two year sentence as a result of an extended series of DUIs. The bunkie, Randy, is ten years younger and light-years from the hippie world. It's a clever way to reenact those times--both the bunkmate and the reader are more or less forced to relive Rideout's life woman-by-woman, drug-by-drug, tune-by-tune.
It is stranger than fiction; this book will take you beyond your imagination to faraway places and bizarre situations.
