one a twin-pair of fiddlers finding their mission in Hollywood pest control and one more a gay coming-of-age memoir.
Both have music in their backgrounds.
Both are about guys who have turned their talents in music performance using different venues to success springing onto the stage of national attention, using The Gong Show in one case and one writing and performing songs.
Shears spills the details about his gay coming-of-age in Mesa, Arizona, . . . there's a generous amount of juicy material about the kaleidoscopic life of this creative founding member of the glam pop group Scissor Sisters. The book is written very much in the way Shears has led his life: brashly honest, well-honed, bubbly, dazzled by celebrity, and infused with plenty of eyebrow-raising tidbits. . . These anecdotes form the perfect lead-in to his more formative musical years in New York City. . . With a swirling cast of supporting characters, the anecdotes and sordid stories flow like lava. Once Shears began writing songs and embracing his place on stage and in front of a crowd, he had truly found his calling . . .The stories alone are enough to keep readers up at night. For an update on Shears and his performance career, he has joined the cast of the Tony-winning musical "Kinky Boots," . . .
