Greetings fellow voyagers on spaceship planet earth!

It’s been a while, and now I have a mountain of subjects to discuss with you. I have missed you, but I had to keep my head down and get the new book written.

I had read about it and knew it was your son's endeavor and anxiously awaited the screening. I was blown away by the movie of course . Duncan has done an outstanding job. I work in the travel dept here at Sony and the day of the screening I got a phone from a coordinator asking if I could change a flight for a traveler. "What is the name of the travler" ? " Duncan Jones " was the reply! Now I don't get all goo-goo over the celebrities. I have to deal with them all the time , but when she said Duncan Jones I was a blibbering idiot !!! "I I I think I know who this is " was my stupid reply . ZZZZOwie Booowie !! . My response was met with laughter, and unfortunately there were no other flights to get Duncan to LA earlier! Anyway I saw the screening and it was very impressive. Last Friday Duncan was back in LA and he had a Q & A for some of the screenigs, which of course I attended one of them . I was too shy to ask anything but it was impressive just to see him. He has had an exhausting promotion schedule but he was very pleasant and cheerful ( as you have always been ) I actually have a picture of you, Duncan, and Mr. B. from a long time ago on my desk at work and I have often wondered what happened to him. Well he's turning into an A-1 film director !! I'm sure you must be very proud ! I feel very lucky to have been invited to the screening because, well it's just that you and your X have been such a big influence on my life, and it's so cool to see that your offspring are no slouches, like so many celebrity brats!  CHEERS, Steven Nelson

There was a note in the June 2009 issue of Discover Magazine testifying that Duncan’s movie is FABULOUS! Sam Rockwell does double duty with the acting and Duncan Jones makes a ‘sparkling debut’ as a feature film director --- well, that’s how mothers read reviews!!!!! Thanks to Tina Paul for Duncan's photo (© Tina Paul 2009) from the Tribeca Film Festival.

Thank you to the folks who have inquired as to whether the Cyprus essays are available as a book? Until now, No! But I will get a deal for the Cyprus book which will include the first two Cyprus essays.

Here’s an excerpt from my on the road journal posted at myspace.com. March 2009 - Bego and I went on a road trip to Los Angeles. As part of the research for my new book: WHEN THE BOYS BECAME GIRLS: THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION OF THE 1970s. I have been doing interviews with a variety of people I have known in the entertainment business.

Mark Bego and I set off for Los Angeles. This trip we stopped in Palm Springs and I interviewed Chris Robison. Chris is a musician, songwriter, keyboard player and guitarist and singer with ELEPHANT’S MEMORY, a well-known revolutionary band with a constantly changing cast of band members and the backing band for John Lennon and Yoko Ono when they first arrived in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  Chris also toured Japan with the NEW YORK DOLLS. Dexter Robison, his son, has an interesting band called LIKE THE TV SHOW. We had a great interview with him at the Rock Garden and the lunch menu al fresco in the garden was delightful. More of our interview is contained in the book!

Glenn Hughes of TRAPEZE, DEEP PURPLE and now Glenn Hughes solo was my destination on Friday. I jumped on the BLUE LINE train and whistled down to Long Beach to have a reunion with Glenn after 25 + years; and to meet Gaby, Glenn’s lady wife and interview him for my book. Glenn has an official autobiography being released later this year by Joel McIver. We had plenty to talk about! And that took us about an hour before we even started to discuss the premise of my new book. It was great fun recalling the DEEP PURPLE shows in Los Angles and in London to which I went with Glenn.  Glenn told me how after those shows his life began to spiral downwards with cocaine addiction and it took him 10 to 15 years to recover from his addiction to the drug and to alcohol. Ultimately he survived; I had no idea how he had suffered. At one point I thought he had died, until a friend pointed out that that was Glenn Hughes from The VILLAGE PEOPLE. Glenn tours the world now playing Rock n’ Roll all over: Russia, South America, Asia Europe, America and South America, Japan and this year he will tour the US with some young band who are fans of his and introduce his extraordinary white Blues voice and multi-instrument musicality to an entirely new data base of music lovers in the audience for live music.

Roy Rogers gave a wonderful courtyard party Saturday afternoon for friends and neighbors; his hospitality is so charmed and his group of friends reminiscent of our 1990s Atlanta located highly successful night club called BERLIN. Joselle, Geist, Hadleigh and her sons, Peggy, Jeff, Holly and her musician date, he of the tongue trick which scared us half to death! A toast to everyone.

Sunday night was time to relax and I love that new show “KINGS” with Ian McShane. Thank God for DEADWOOD and KINGS to ensure that those of us with the LOVEJOY bug get our medicine! Ken Reynolds gave the most charming dinner party Monday night at his home. Clearence Cheatham, my manager and Mark Bego together with guests from all walks of show business, actors, PR, friends from Europe celebrated the return to Los Angeles of one of the most legendary managers and publicists in Rock n’ Roll, Ken Reynolds. Ken is just back from the Labelle tour and is managing Sara Dash's comeback.

I'm back home now transcribing interviews and trying to keep up with the daily life of working at our other projects! Much love to all of you and thanks again for your time and interest in this new book project.
