And then, the predictable blow up...

If you think it is funny to fall down the steps with a 60-pound wheelchair on top of you, then I think you are pathetic and downright sadistic. Or to make fun of a midget who could not ever reconcile himself to his own situation and finally died from it. I think I was the only friend that lonely, pathetic person had. Oh, we had our ups and downs. Especially the night in Paris when I made him throw up in front of 10,000 people during a performance. I have to admit I had some moments where I was as mean and terrible as many of you often are. If you want to read something really intense, get a copy of my book "Blazing Ice" by me, R. Scott Carlton. You can get it through amazon.com or Barnes and Nobel or you obtain an inexpensive copy through eBay. Trust me, it is not a book of fluff about figure skating. It is a hard-edged tale of what real professional show business is all about, and it may upset you. There is sex of every conceivable type, including the casting couch which I had to face because of a lustful boss who wanted my body; there is a suicide by a very unlikely person; there is a huge backstage explosion that nearly killed our head electrician and another backstage crisis that nearly killed our show director; there is a police raid behind the Iron Curtain; there are drugs the police never heard of and drug smuggling that my so-called friends got me involved with. It goes on and on. You can't even imagine the prostitution. Believe me, this book is nasty. If you think you have the guts to read it, I urge you to get a copy. You will not be disappointed. The reviews have been excellent. If you buy a copy and read it, please let me know what you think about it. I would like to know.
