In the 40's nakedness was deemed to be shameful and sex to be ineffable and kept that way with antiquated puritanical laws. "Take Your Shame and Shove It: A wild journey through the mysterious sexual cosmos," follows my life as I struggled to find sense in a world of twisted sexual hypocrisy. It is a story that reads like quirky offbeat fiction, yet is all fact. My life went from a sheltered mid-western god fearing child to the maker of Flesh Gordon, passing through MIT, the Berkeley folk scene and a stint as a picaresque drug smuggler in the process followed by a life of hedonistic pleasure only ended by incurable diseases and the scourge of cocaine. It may shock or offend, but will not bore.
