mail truck with forty bucks in his pocket, survive on the cold lonesome streets

revisiting the rejection, false promises, inspiring creative characters and money-grubbing scum suckers he met along the way: The Tina Turner "mistake".....Hey! Clint Eastwood's at the door!.....and other life-changing brushes with the famous and infamous.  From his "Hippie" days in San Francisco to creating Dr. Hook's When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman and Eddie Rabbitt's I Love A Rainy Night, the world of an aspiring songwriter is laid bare for all to see. 

Welcome to the Odd World of Even Stevens.
