Two years ago the book club I'm in read Dan Savage's 'The Kid.' I couldn't put it down. It was a unanimous hit with all the guys. And it got us all thinking more deeply about marriage, children, and the "kicker" - just how hard were we willing to go for the things we want in our lives?
Dan and Terry face it all with seriousness, and great humor. NEVER occurred to me that a couple years later this memoir would be turned in to a Broadway musical, but that's exactly what's happened. It's got a short run, and just began April 16th through May 29th. Don't wait until word spreads and suddenly tickets are gone. It's a love story, about two guys doing what's necessary to make the family they want.
I'll tell you - the one thing I don't miss each week, is Dan's column in The Village Voice. His thoughtful, frank, ballsy answers make me look like a prude. He's a voice of reason in the world of modern relationships. He's PRO healthy honest relationships. This week is no exception - in fact, this week may be the funniest I've ever read. Set up by a very crewed, real life happening. Read for yourself and ask, What would I have done? Click SAVAGE LOVE
