Lived To Tell: A Celebration of Friends Lost to AIDS

Madonna sang Lived To Tell as she soared over the faces of the eight friends in this book during her Celebration Tour honoring 'Those Bright Lights Lost to AIDS.' The author survived the pandemic and two strokes to tell this story. Return to the 1980s in this rollicking true story! Revel in the last care-free decade before GPAs and success became all that mattered. Discover Gay life between Stonewall, before AIDS decimated a generation. Step onto the sun-kissed sands of Laguna Beach. Fall in with the In-crowd. Hang out with these eight beautiful boys as they terrorize West Street Beach and West Hollywood. This stunning Coming-of-Age memoir reads like a non-fiction novel. Join these half-naked Golden Boys as they swim up to yachts and sample buffets of Caviar and cocaine. Wild and reckless they lived like there was no tomorrow. Sadly, there was. As the shadow of a plague gathered over life in the fast lane , these six friends squeeze into a Camaro Convertible and make a cross-country run for their life. They are looking for love in all the wrong places. Laugh with them as they explore gay bars and bathhouses. Enjoy their Endless Summer before it comes to an end. You will never forget these friends. Madonna featured their faces on her recent Celebration Tour as she honored the Bright Lights Lost to AIDS. Now, hear their voices. By turns wry, elegant, and insightful, Churchill conjures a dazzling era with clever prose and no small amount of elan. His firsthand account brings fun and poignance to an adventurous “lost generation” that deserves a radiant new vitality. — Jonathan Kieran, author of The Wednesday Box Special commemorative edition with 82 vintage color snapshots
