Bad News for BONZO (several of them, actually)!!!

 

Hoping to find Brooks and Adriana Jackson's Key West home, Villa Adriana, all I could come up with was this photo of the ORIGINAL Villa Adriana in Roma.

 

 

 

Brooks owned an art gallery in New York City (where I also visited their Park Avenue home), and Adriana was an Italian Countess -- her brother a major Italian TV and movie producer.

 

 

More about THEM (and much  more), can be found in my memoir of working for Tennessee Williams (be sure to read the RAVE REVIEWS!!!):

This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)

     

Tennessee Williams was a quirky man. We all knew that. Just how quirky he was and what he was like to live and work with is the subject of this hilarious though at times painfully sad memoir of observing the physical, emotional and psychological deterioration of a genius.


Scott Kenan shows a lot of class and grace in his memories. Though let go under dubious circumstances he remains a loyal employee and friend to one of the 20th Century's towering artistic figures.

4.0 out of 5 stars 10's SLOW SLIDE DOWN, May 22, 2013

This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)

     

if you love the plays and idea of Tennessee Williams achieving the greatness he deserved this account of his later days when he kept trying, accompanied by desperation omnipotent to write brilliantly, again, WALKING ON GLASS is a chronicle of both sadness and forced hope. The people Williams chose to surround him at the end greased the inevitable slide, and Scott Kenan was a companion, certainly not evil, but not exactly the needed angel of help. Some may find this memoir too full of its author to fully satisfy, but it is a chronicle that must be read if you loved Williams.

>>> "TOO FULL OF ITS AUTHOR" : That's my MIDDLE NAME!!!



1. Nothing yet from Mayor Bill Saffo of Wilmington, NC -- or Art Pope, BUDGET DIRECTOR of the State of North Carolina.


2. I imagine Bill Saffo and his kind have been LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF at my HONEST TRUE ANTICS -- but NOT at me. They SOBER UP REAL FAST when they consider the POLITICAL SITUATION (overall), in Wilmington and North Carolina -- to say NOTHING OF OUR NATION!!!


I understand this, so have some patience as we try to figure this all out. I expect NOT to hear right way -- but for me to call Jackie in the Mayor's Office (who likely went on HOLIDAY TODAY -- this often happens when I begin speaking with a REAL PERSON). In the mean time, I will call her soon to get a READ ON THINGS and see if I can't tickle her "phone-fancy".


3. Art Pope's Office needs another day or two before I call THEM.


4. There is MUCH to resolve still in Chicago, so I might work on THAT a bit.


5. Right now I am looking at these options and feeling like THE LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!


Scott
