In Cold Blood - Tuesday at the Medford Public Library ...LECTURE

 in 1980 I signed Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls to my label in Europe, New Rose distributed by the prestigious Musidisc.
It was the biggest selling album of the year for New Rose, and I met the producer Jimmy Miller, and became his manager / co-producer...

the legendary producer of the Rolling Stones, Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton, among others.

Truman Capote's book In Cold Blood inspired the late Johnny Thunders.  This Tuesday at the Medford Public Library you can go deeper into the world of Truman Capote


 

 

Inside the murder that scandalized NYC—and led to Truman Capote’s downfall

The story — which threw under-the-belt punches in trashy, low-brow prose at practically all of Capote’s nearest and dearest (including socialites Babe Paley, C.Z. Guest, Slim Keith and Lee Radziwill) — was a flippant act of destruction done in cold blood. The fallout was legendary and the unfinished novel would only be published in 1986, two years after Capote’s death. 

In “Deliberate Cruelty” (out Nov. 1 with Atria Books), author Roseanne Montillo takes a fresh stab at one of New York’s best remembered killings, its decades-long ripple effect and Capote’s failed final literary project.
