In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, John Corabi recounts his life from
the mean streets of Philadelphia to the Sunset Strip. Take a look
behind the scenes at Corabi’s time fronting Mötley Crüe, Union,
and The Dead Daisies, as well as his time playing rhythm guitar
with Ratt and even his stint as a long-haul trucker. Whether it’s
detailing his parents difficult divorce, his family’s dark
history of abuse, his run-in with a serial killer, or simply the
best way to arrive at a wedding—which maybe is by helicopter and
maybe it isn’t—he pulls no punches and outlines the good and
bad of it all in this raucous autobiography.Â
Two strong-willed women. One incredible century. Their
extraordinary, true story. MORE THAN TONGUE CAN TELL is the
one-hundred-year saga (1885-1985) of screen beauty and film star
Andrea King and her equally indomitable, cigar-smoking mother Belle
McKee. Imagine, for a moment, what it must have been like growing
up in the 1880s on a farm across the street from Thomas Edison,
experiencing the first burst of electric light illuminating your
childhood home. Belle's father George Hart was an inventor himself,
and as the family's prosperity grew, so did Belle's private
aspirations. She dreamed of a life in the theatre, and against her
parents wishes, she studied in secret, dancing with the legendary
Isadora Duncan in New York. But when Isadora left the country for
France, Belle volunteered as an ambulance driver with the Red Cross
in order to avoid asking her parents for traveling expenses. Belle
found herself on the front lines in World War I, and the experience
changed her forever. She soon had a daughter, Georgette, and in
1919, upon learning of her father's grave illness, Belle returned
to the States with her baby. Now a single mother with few options
available to her, Belle agreed to marry a wealthy banker and settle
down in New York. Raised in Forest Hills and Palm Beach, Georgette
also dreamed of a life in the theatre. She was spotted by a
representative of the Shubert brothers in a boarding school recital
and, at the age of fourteen, made her Broadway debut weeks later.
Georgette came to be known as Andrea King, a name given to her by
movie mogul Jack Warner when she rose to fame at Warner Bros. in
the mid-1940s. Follow Andrea on her turbulent path to stardom in
Hollywood's heyday-and pick up fascinating, personal anecdotes
about Montgomery Clift, Tallulah Bankhead, Thomas Mitchell, Lillian
Gish, Errol Flynn, Bette Davis, Peter Lorre, Ida Lupino, Bob Hope,
and Edward G. Robinson, just to name a few. But Andrea's story
delves deeper into private struggles: rape, abortion, child
molestation, alcoholism, domestic violence, disputed judgment, and
missed opportunities-as well as the triumphs of romance and
ingenuity. Throughout their lives, and a century of change and
turmoil unlike any other, these two women possessed a bond that
endured. They loved each other "more than tongue can tell."
