Tales of a Rascal: What I Did for Love

Tales of a Rascal: What I Did for Love by Robert Blake. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780615591940.

78 years of what I did for love. The wisdom that came through the awful grace of God. The black rainbow that led me on and assured me that there must be a pony. The eyes that saw so little and the ears that, when I was quiet, I could hear the heartbeat of the universe. The indomitable spirit that God graced me with that forced me to live the worst nine months of my life in my mothers womb and the worst 12 months of my life in a cement box that the crooked cops, DAs and judges wanted to be my coffin. Through the acquittal of the murder charges when the world saw me on cloud nine. It turned into a mushroom cloud. Someday Ill tell you about it. If you choose to join me on the journey of this book, I swear before God it is not a performance, but the blood and guts, rainbow and glory, warts and all, of a gifted life beyond imagination. Not a coffee table book. Pool table? Yes. Lunch counter? Yes. From dancin for nickels to dancin in the clouds. From a murder rap to the high wire witho
