In the 50s, gays took on stereotypical roles David Vass did not embrace. I wasn't a top, bottom, butch or fem - I scared the shit out of all the homos I met! Entertaining, humorous, and shocking, he reveals secrets of the record labels (how he became a mafia money runner), juicy, never-before-told anecdotes about legendary celebrities - Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe and Tony award winners that he technical directed. Over 100 World-Class difficult personalities were kept in line by Vass. Many shared their secrets with him.

At seven, I stopped talking for two years because of a speech impediment and started writing. Diaries were the first of my addictions. I wrote down everything that happened to me for seven decades. These outrageous experiences are the bones of my book; I hope none of the mobsters I knew will leave a horse's head in my bed!

David's story is still relevant, given today's political backpedaling of our civil liberties. His life is raunchy, hilarious, twisted, and brutally honest. A laugh-out-loud page-turner: gay little boy of the 50s, stumbles into the dangerous world of strip clubs in the 60s where he learned his talent as a technical director. Working the hottest clubs and iconic theatres, record labels lined up to contract him for his 'celebrity-whisperer' talents and his connections to the mob in the 70s.

The fun he had in prison; best sex of my life, thrills with pills, robbing his mother in drag thinking she wouldn't recognize him. She did. His salacious adventures in a pre-AIDs world. A homo-hobo, Vass's mash-up is brutally honest and a cautionary tale laced with inspiration.
