Description
A snake, an octopus and the near death of Johnny Ramone. The almost true account of the 1977 New York City blackout.
Set in the 1970s, the story’s capstone is the 1977 New York City blackout.
Ray the snake is a sad, lonely, middle aged insurance salesman from Midway Kentucky, looking for a better life. Strawberry is a Glow Octopus (Stauroteuthis syrtensis) with an inability to control her glow.
Strawberry finds herself in constant trouble; she has a prison record and an FBI file to prove it. The unlikely pair embark on a road trip to New York City, where they rub shoulders with rock royalty, things get electric – in more ways than one.
A tribute to all kinds of music, from elevator to opera.
