Description: Early Plastic by Bill ReedA memoir of growing up in the south of the 1950s and coming of age in the hippie era of the 1960s. The author is gay; however, the book, which deals mainly with the counter culture, should appeal to a broad spectrum of readership. The "cast of characters" includes Bette Midler, Tim Hardin, Janis Joplin, Andre Codrescu, and many more, with all of whom the author had personal relationships."As memoirs go, this one is very entertaining and very interesting, as he writes about gay life in NYC pre-Stonewall. He was also there for a lot of culturally important (to me anyway) events and people, and includes a lot of great detail on people and places in 50s and 60s NYC, like Stanley's Bar, a Max's predecessor on East 12 St." - Emily X, Amazon ReviewBill Reed is a journalist and writer whose articles on show business, the arts and popular music have appeared in such publications as Rolling Stone, the San Francisco Examiner and International Documentary.
