I hadn't been in Vegas 20 minutes when I got word that the bookmakers were offering three to one that Frank wouldn't show for my wedding.
During three decades, along all the highways of my youth, Frank had always been there for me.
Sober up, and you see and hear everything you'd been able to avoid hearing before.
In terms of addiction, there is nothing more powerful than men's toys.
I bought a house in the Hollywood Hills and brought my grandmother from Harlem to live in it with me.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Elvis eleven.
