kottke.org posts about Sonny Bono

Cher’s New Memoir

the book cover for Cher's memoir

Cher has a book coming out, Cher, The Memoir, Part One, and Vulture has an excerpt about meeting Sonny Bono.

In my mind I was thinking, Yeah, OK, this old line. But I must have had a look on my face because he shook his head and laughed. โ€œDonโ€™t worry, Iโ€™ve got twin beds,โ€ he said. With a grin he added, โ€œAnd honestly, I donโ€™t find you particularly attractive.โ€ I was both insulted and relieved. And thatโ€™s how I became the potty-mouthed sidekick to a man eleven years older than me who was in the middle of a divorce.

I hadn’t realized Sonny was so much older than Cher, who was 16 when they met, which, uh, yeah. (via @georgehahn.bksy.social)
