.This second volume of books of this True Story of a Novel Life from Truman to Trump continues, as this particular baby boomer begins a new life with a new identity in the late 1970’s during the period in which Tom Wolfe described as the Me Generation.
While many were still seeking their fame and fortune which outweighed personal relationships during that era, the subculture of the nightlife and disco universe was also a period to just have a good time and the hedonistic lifestyle was glamourized not only in the media, but in the music and lyrics that reminded everyone that If it feels good, to just DO IT! It was also during that period when the old catchphrase Wine, Women and Song was replaced by Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll and cocaine was basically considered an acceptable, trendy, and even enlightening vice.
It was almost fifty years earlier when Cole Porter lightly described in his song Anything Goes about how much the Puritanical culture had similarly changed with his own generation during the Roaring Twenties, and how everything and anything that was considered fun, became an acceptable way of life in that era.
It’s often been said that history repeats itself and coincidentally, in the same way the lyrics in Anything Goes once mentioned that in olden times the glimpse of a women’s stocking was considered shocking, this baby boomer took those lyrics to a new level in the 1980’s as he used the subculture of the nightclubs, the parties, and outrageous promotions, to seek his own fame and fortune.
From small towns and cities to the glamorous lifestyle of big city discos like Studio 54 in New York City, to Chez Regine’s in Paris, this baby boomers journey led him through the hedonistic and wild times that not only brought him fame in ways he never expected, but an enlightenment and personal belief that the good times and fun would never end.
This baby boomer was in his prime and any thoughts of his previous life was in the rearview mirror as he journeyed down many roads, and many adventures.
His second chance, was going to be his best chance.
