This frequently amusing, sometimes wild, often moving ride proceeds from creating grade school productions of fairy tales to writing the books and lyrics for internationally produced musicals and collaborating with the super-smart, uber-talented, and sometimes famous. Along the way, the author provides a ringside seat for viewing the huge cultural changes from the 1950s to the 2020s: hippies and flower power, women's and gay liberation, civil rights and wrongs, AIDS and covid, and the softening of hardened attitudes offset by alarming pushbacks against justice and democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67883353801008,"sku":"BD2pvm","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/2pvm-Square-cover.webp?v=1790703108","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-2pvm","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
