My guest is Adele Bertei, author of her new memoir Twist: An American Girl. The book chronicles her formative years as a teenager and young adult as she navigated the minefields of poverty, race, sexuality, and gender during the late 60’s and early 70’s. Adele is an accomplished musician, songwriter, and she’s recorded and performed for artists such as Culture Club, Whitney Houston, and Thomas Dolby. https://www.adelebertei.com/ #theeddrickshow #adelebertei #thomasdolby #americanelegy #labelle #pattilabelle #pattismith #rudeboy #sexuality #glamrock #davidbowie #rockstar #womenrock #womensongwriters #motown #blackmusic #fostercare #trauma #pattismith #joanjett #chrissiehynde
