Summary:
Ranging in age from 67 to 80, Mick, Jessay, Robert, and Bill are survivors whose lives have been transformed by sweeping cultural change. It was their generation that was devastated by AIDS, a health crisis that deprived us of so many brilliant, creative lives, including many of their friends. They offer their collective wisdom on a rainbow of topics, including coming out, sex, gay liberation, gay marriage, AIDS, aging, and saving the best act for last. Between the four of them there's not much of life they haven't seen or done, and now they dish on everything from fitness and fabulous dinner parties to church and orgies. They remind us that age is just a number and that getting older can be outrageously fun. -- adapted from jacket
