BBB's Blog
If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a magazine or how crazy my personal life is, be sure to read the behind-the-scenes peek at the daily trials and tribulations of running True West. Culled straight from my Franklin Daytimer, it contains actual journal entries, laid out raw and uncensored. Some of it is enlightening. Much of it is embarrassing, but all of it is painfully true.
In addition to this current journal, my early journal entries show the rocky road and money lost in the True West Business Timeline.
Bob's biography - The Unvarnished Truth
November 2, 2009
We have been doing this magazine for ten years and in all that time I can't recall a typo that has created such an uproar (the photograph in the current issue that identifies Guy Madison as Jock Mahoney):
I have received dozens of emails (I got two today), two hand written letters and several phone calls. This afternoon I got a call from Bridget Madison, Guy Madison's oldest daughter, who said she heard about the mistake from her friend, Dave Snowden, who is the Beverly Hills Chief of Police. She called from Long Beach and was very sweet. She lost her son in Iraq. We are sending her a True West magazine with the gaffe in it.
Here's the website for her and her father:
Man, he was a handsome guy!
"Wait for me Wild Bill!"
—Jingles, played by Andy Devine of Kingman, Arizona fame
