Blister in the Sun

What is it about California that attracts so many weirdos?
Is it the weather? The Pacific Ocean? Or is it all those cameras ready for
close-ups? Sacramento-based author David Kulcyzk’s new book California Fruits, Nuts & Flakes: True
Tales of Caliornia Crazies, Crackpots and Creeps has dug into the tales of
forty-five of those characters who helped define the Golden State for the rest
of the world as the home of sunburned eccentrics and motivated lunatics. His
profiles include freewheelers like filmmaker Ed Wood, proto-hippie songwriter
eden ahbez and Jack Pickford, the misfit brother of Mary Pickford whose liver
and genitals cost him his career and his life. Anyone who has spent any time on
the Los Angeles subway knows there is a rich tapestry of semi-psychotic
creative types with ideas to share. In the old days they all had their own TV
shows.
