"Dean & Me". A love story.

I'm a fan of biographies. You learn how not to fuck up. Mike Farrell, Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt, Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Dern, Dean Martin, Elvis, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Kirk Douglas, Dennis Wilson, Brett Favre, Vince Lombardi, Richard Burton, Howard Stern, Abbie Hoffman, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams...and more to get to. Had I read Dean & Me (A Love Story), by Jerry Lewis, I would've finished it in a day (I took three days). Fast read. Funny read. Deano's my favorite all-around entertainer - and I loved these guys as a team and individually.

Hey look! It's me and the "original" Ricci Martin, Deano's 2nd son, at a gig in Pasadena. I got to know Ricci a bit through the Carl Wilson Cancer Foundation. Chip off the old block.

  1. Hey pallie, Jeff cool to see you doin' some more Dino-homagin'. Likes when I read "Dean and Me: A Love Story" it completely changed by attitude toward Mr. Lewis...it is truly truly clear by readin' this book that Lewis loved and indeed still loves our beloved Dino so so very very much! And thanks for sharin' to cool pix of you and our Dino's boypallie Ricci with all your readers. Know that your Dino-reflections will soon be shared at ilovedinomartin. Keeps lovin' our Dino! Regards, DMP
