So to pass the time, I will tell you my Sharon McNight story. Again.
It was in 2004, soon after the release of BK's Jeepers Creepers album, on which Sharon sang the title song. Sharon had recorded a demo for Richard Berent and me, but I had never met her. Joe had just begun his horrible stint in the hoosgow, it was Valentine's Day, and Sharon was doing The Last of the Red Hot Lovers at C. W. Post College.
I arrived for the show with a dozen roses, which I attempted to deliver to her during the curtain calls. Despite various audience members trying to direct Sharon's attention toward me, she walked off completely oblivious. Once I cornered her outside her dressing room, she apologized and told me she was blind as a bat without her glasses.
Upon hearing that Bruce Kimmel was a friend of mine, she replied, "Well, that's not your fault."
That is all.
I have never met Sophie Tucker.
