Review Ringolevio: A Life Played for Keeps ("Rebel Inc." Classics) / Payback Pr:"Ringolevio" is the memorable tale of Emmett Grogan and the Diggers, the irreverent urban guerrillas anti masters and masters of street theater who made San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury a home, putting on Grateful Dead dances in Golden Gate Park, ladling out free stew to all comers in the park's Panhandle, and keeping the peace with the cops. While Kesey's Merry Prankster's were off tripping the light fantastic, the Diggers were transforming the Haight from a seedy district of abandoned Victorian houses into an evanescent paradise on earth. For anyone who thinks that those were days only of peace, love and flower power, Ringolevio will be a revelation, as it evokes the gritty urban sensibility that supplied the backbone to the community's free flights of fancy. Vastly entertaining, Ringolevio is at once high adventure, political screed, social history. and hyperbolic memoir. This classic traces the story of Emmett Grogan, a larger-than-life sixties legend of great controversy, from the streets of New York to the heights of the Haight. Citadel Underground's edition of Ringolevio features a new introducing by the actor Peter Coyote, one of Grogan's oldest friends, a fellow Digger and a veteran of the San Francisco Mime Troupe. "The San Francisco Diggers combined Dada street theater with the revolutionary politics of free". Slum-alley saints, they lit up the period by spreading the poetry of love and anarchy with broad strokes of artistic genius. Their free store, communications network of instant offset survival poetry, along with an Indian-inspired consciousness, was the original white light of the era. [+]Emmett Grogan was the hippie warrior par excellence. He was also a junkie, amaniac, a gifted actor, a rebel hero,. and above all a pain in the ass to all his friends. Ringolevio is half-brilliant". - Abbie Hoffman.

Review Fate's Kiss / PublishAmerica:Outstanding: Every author thinks this about his own work-it is only natural. But in this case, Fate's Kiss is a story that is different and needs to be told. It was written because Fate's Kiss contains true-to-life experiences that could benefit a parent raising a youngster of any age. The author admits raising children in today's environment remains a tremendous challenge. Even those movies of the '30s and '40s could influence a child's mind as they did on me-some good and some not so good. I thought I could swim just by watching Tarzan. The influences of seemingly trivial experiences have a lifetime effect. Fate's Kiss has everything covered, with subjects from the heritage of my parents to sexuality, fish, frogs, a snapper turtle on a fisherman's thumb, to educational system differences in various parts of the country. Now then, did your Mamma have your future studies all laid out for you? Mine did. Stories include work ethics, growing up on a farm with various pets and animals, good and bad teachers along with good times and the worst, Boy Scout experiences, which were not as conducive to learning as one might be led to believe, special times with siblings, and unusual jobs, including one that helped bring closure to the Cold War and that affected our country for many years. [+]Fate's Kiss includes many short stories with humor, twists and turns-unusual foreign exchange students, getting married in one day, and a string of circumstances that caused undue mental torture. I ask the question: What more could anyone ask for?.
