And No Birds Sing
My Life in Show Business
John Allen returns to the struggle of saying yes to what is and losing yet again, this time to love. This is not a story about a breakup. It is an elegy for an open wound. traced through memory, music, obsession and the body itself. The heart break is never ending. The stakes are very high. This is the grail wound-a land laid waste where no birds sing- and the only thing that heals it is attention.. There is no advice here .No lesson, No moral. No finger wagging bullshit. There is only witness.

SIT DOWN SON. FUCK OFF, DAD-A LOVE STORY
My Life in Show Business
John Allen brings his son in as backup in his ongoing argument with what is. My son and I discuss the only relevant questions that really count. How do I get more girls and not get cancelled? Is there an age where it’s just too creepy to keep hitting on the babes? Are all men misogynist? My answer to that one really pissed off my girlfriend now my ex-girlfriend. So totally worth it. I thought the bit about Jesus looking like a twink would’ve been the one, but she didn’t get that far. Other vital questions covered: Are there any topics a twenty-something adult is allowed to talk about in...
