...random people at clubs come up and tell me that I should compete again. I have a family of conservative Southern Baptists in rural East Texas, but I told my mom about my stripping because she's a closet liberal. She encouraged me to get a leather jacket and earring in seventh grade when I attended a school where we weren't even allowed to have long hair--so I figured my new hobby wouldn't bother her too much...
...Simon (Kenneth Branagh) is a man in a rumpled corduroy jacket with his nose pressed eagerly against the double-glazed windows of fame.

For all of those sane, not-yet-obsessed opera fans, however, the book will take a little more effort. Although written in a relaxed, unpretentious style, the narrative is inundated with the names of every important performer, publicist, conductor and record company CEO in the business, not to mention the titles and allusions to plot synopses of most of the major operas...
