Erik Klinger, Author of "The Long Shadow": The Mafia, Music, Money and Morals

Now THIS is the episode that we all needed! In the face of never ending bad news, out of control political climate, Global Tensions at an all time high along with everything being more expensive...we all need an escape and our guest tonight has got you covered!  Erik Klinger has his latest release just finished and he joined us to discuss "The Long Shadow" a story of a Music Lover who find himself inside the Kaleidoscope of the FBI, The NY Mafia, off shore bank accounts and making decisions about how far you will go to get what you want...with a little Bossa Nova  thrown in. We discuss the origin for the story, who would play the lead role (and female lead) when it streams on Netflix, examples of books that were ruined as movies (as well as done successfully), being whitey Bulgers neighbor, the Genius and raw power of Oasis, drinking with James Bond (and Toto), meeting Boz Scaggs, street fighting with Bruce Lee, Simulation Theory, the cinematic masterpiece that is Goodfellas, Leo's favorite Vice, meeting Fat Tony and the difference between Fiction and an Autobiography. Look for "The Long Shadow" coming soon to your favorite book retailer and...not long after...to the big Screen! We hope you enjoyed the conversation as much as we did! #FBI, #Mafia, #Hedgefund, #Bozscaggs, #jamesbond, #tomwolfe, #Jaws, #bonfireofthevanities, #oasis, #katieholmes, #fattony, #dartmouth, #tolstoy, #bossanova, #goodfellas, #weed, #BMWM5, #TOTO, #jameslazenby, #dianarigg, #brucelee, #fscottfitzgerald, #streetfight, #whiteybulger
