"“Don’t tell anyone we’re Democrats,” warned Mother when we moved to
Bakersfield, CA, a town often referred to, back then, as redneck central.
“And for heaven’s sake, don’t tell them you’re Jewish.”

hostile landscape with humor, naive insight, and the missteps of youth, is what
entertainment is all about.”"
