THE MAN, THE MUSIC, AND THE MAGIC BY GABRIEL EVAN
There is a neurosis in the air, which
its inhabitants mistake for energy.
The climate is scandalous, the
traffic insane, and the competition
savage. However, there is no place
like it on the planet. People go to
L.A. to try to find themselves, but
they come to New York to become
someone new…For the past two
years, composer Randy Edelman
has braved the chaos, the threat
of plague, and the monotony of
faces and has made a new and
contrasting identity for himself
amongst the sizzling concrete and
the sold-out solo performances at
the edgiest nightlife soirées in New
York and recently also in London.
He began his New York renaissance
at the electric, 9000-square-foot
dance space Rumi and then jammed
the Monster, the Townhouse, the Green Room 42, City Winery, and now a residency at
the trendy night spot Chelsea Table + Stage, where he dazzles audiences with music
and stories intimately celebrating the soundscape of his illustrious career.
Randy is known above all for writing the soundtracks to over 100 television
productions and motion pictures, including “Last of The Mohicans” (which earned him
a Golden Globe nomination), “Dragonheart”, “Ghostbusters ll”, “My Cousin Vinny”.
“Anaconda”, “Gettysburg”, “Drop Dead Fred”, “Kindergarten Cop”, “Twins”, “While
You Where Sleeping”, the hit series “MacGyver”, and a kaleidoscope of ESPN events
(which he won an Emmy for), the Olympics, and an massive array of others. He is also
a pop recording artist, having written “Weekend In New England” (as recorded by Barry
Manilow), “Isn’t It A Shame” (as recorded by Patti LaBelle), “My Place” (as recorded by
Nelly), “You” ( as recorded by the Carpenters), and limitless others.
Most recently he wrote the soundtrack for the new thriller “The Possession of Anne”,
which will be out on Amazon Prime this October, plus “Athena Saves Christmas,”
the new Josh Webber holiday movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr., “Too Hot To Handle:
The Making of Ghostbusters ll” and “Heart Strings”, directed by Ate de Jong.
Edelman is also currently working on another album to be released early next year.
Recently, Randy was inducted into the New England Music Hall Of Fame. Check out
randyedelman.com or purchase Randy’s catalog of work on streaming services.
The Get Out! Awards has scored, Randy Edelman will perform on Dec. 10th, 2023

DESMOND CHILD
LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER: BIG SONGS BIG LIFE
PHOTO CREDIT: GARRETT MILLS
Music royalty with a career
challenging the longevity that rivals
the British monarchy, song creator
Desmond Child is a seductive
alchemist transforming the world’s
anguish into a narrative of hope.
Amidst a marathon of songs
with artists including Bon Jovi
(“You Give Love A Bad Name”,
“Livin’ On A Prayer”), Cher (“Just
Like Jesse James”), Alice Cooper
(“Poison”), Joan Jett (“I Hate Myself
For Loving You”), KISS “(I Was
Made For Lovin’ You”), Ricky Martin
(“Livin’ La Vida Loca”), Aerosmith,
Barbra Streisand, Michael Bolton,
Chicago, Selena Gomez, INXS,
Jonas Brothers…..and a limitless
array of others, Child is now
celebrating the unveiling of his
new book, “Livin’ On A Prayer: Big
Songs Big Life.” Some of the pages
in his book took longer to turn than others. It didn’t matter if the flawless
sheets followed a shocking one or if the proceeding lines were blurred with
tears. What went before his enchanting manuscript was either erased or
embraced as he begins another chapter of his luminous career.
Desmond Child has been lighting up the world like fireworks illuminating
the night sky and shattering the darkness. There is an eloquence to his
enthusiasm–and his continuing evolutions. When we’ve imagined that we’ve
finished our story, fate has a trick of turning the page and showing yet
another chapter…

INTERVIEW >>>
Hello, Desmond. What prompted you to write
the book?
The book was started seven years ago. It was
my seven-year jailhouse confession. It’s been
a real reckoning of my life. I wanted my sons
to get to know me someday. For who I am, not
just the guy with the open checkbook. Maybe
someday they will pick it up and read it. It’s
about all of us and our lives–how the music
was intertwined not only with my life, but with
the times. It’s a reflection of American life in the
past century. I have the mullet hairdos and the
platform shoes to prove it.
Aside from your sons, what was your
defining moment of humanity? Was there a
moment that you can recall that changed the
trajectory of your entire life?
Well, there have been several. Meeting Paul
Stanley of KISS when he came to see Desmond
Child & Rouge playing at a little club called
Trax on West 72nd Street in New York City.
We had already gotten our record deal at
Capitol Records and we were in the process
of recording our first album. We were getting
ready to go on and then he comes and pops
his head in. He
says, “Hey, I’m
Paul Stanley
of KISS.” We
were like,
“OK?” Because
we didn’t know
what he looked
like, since we
had never seen
his face. He
just wanted to
let us know at
the front table
was George
Harrison of
The Beatles. I
almost fainted. We went out there and we just
killed it. And afterwards, Paul came backstage
and said, “I love your music. We should try
writing a song together.” So, we sort of made
this deal where he would write a song with
me and then I would write a song with him
for Kiss. We wrote a song called “The Fight,”
which we also cowrote with David Landau. Paul
said, “Why don’t you come up to SIR? We are
rehearsing there for our next tour. Come on your
lunch break.” I showed up on their lunch break
and the guys were kind of like passing me and
bumping into me as I’m trying to walk past them.
And I walk into the rehearsal room and there is
Paul and the big grand piano on the left hand
side of the stage and it had a big heavy canvas
cover–you know, because KISS has no need for
a piano. So, we rolled that back and we sat on
the long piano bench and we wrote “I Was Made
For Lovin’ You.” That changed the direction of
my life. Paul was always very kind to me and
served as a mentor really.
I grew up very poor, Cuban and gay. I grew
up in the projects of Miami with the idea that
winning was the only way I was going to be able
to help my mom and get us out of the ghetto.
So, I think all of the songs that I collaborate on
get the engine driving towards the lift. Whether
it’s lyrically, or modulating and lifting into a
chorus. What was going on in my soul was
being reflected in my music.
My mother was a songwriter, and that’s
how it was for her. If she was sad, she would
write a sad song. If she was happy or if she
visited a city, she would write a tribute to the city
she visited.
Growing up, I
didn’t realize
that when
people did
write songs, it
was the most
natural thing
in the world.
I started out
without any
formal training.
Even when
I went to
graduate from
NYU, whatever
I learned flew
out of my mind. I really can’t read music. I can’t
really play piano. I don’t play guitar. Imagine if
I really studied, how much bigger I would be!
It’s never a dull moment when I’m writing and
I love my collaborators and I think that you
know we’ve proven that by sticking together, we
changed the course of popular music.

Did you ever collaborate with Diane
Warren?
Yes. We have written many songs together.
In the early days, I had heard a song that
she had written for John Waite called
“Don’t Lose Any Sleep.” Rick Nowels was
producing and he is married to Maria Vidal,
who actually was my girlfriend before.
And she is the original Gina of “Livin’ On A
Prayer.” So, I heard the song “Don’t Lose
Any Sleep” and I asked, “Who wrote that?”
Rick said “Diane Warren” and I was like,
“I have to meet her.” I just knew we were
musical soulmates. I called her many, many
times. And she never would hit me back.
Then my song with Bon Jovi, “You Give
Love A Bad Name,” went to number one and
suddenly my phone rings and it was Diane.
She said, “Welcome to the Number One Club”.
Those were her first words. We’ve been buddies
and arch rivals ever since.
Knowing what you know now, what advice
would you have given baby Desmond?
If I could have whispered in his ear, I would
have told him “You are perfect the way you are.”
It took me so long to have a feeling of selfesteem.
It’s something that hung over me for so
long and I tried so many things and so many left
turns to get a feeling like I was worth something.
I would tell him, “You’re on to something. Stick
with it and don’t let anyone tell you that you
can’t.” Maybe I would have become a better
recording artist–or at least a successful one had
I had that kind of confidence. But I didn’t, so, my
role became kind of like helping other people to
achieve their goals and dreams rather than my
own.
Do you ever feel that you want to go back to
that and be a recording artist?
Well, you know I’ve been recording with
Desmond Child & Rouge again. We have been
doing some new material and we’re working on
a really beautiful special project, a tribute to the
music of Laura Nyro. You’re the first I’ve told. It’s
just vocals and piano. Just us singing. And you
hear the beauty of our voices together. It’s really,
really special. It’s just for us, really.
I read your book and I feel you hit rock
bottom in the confidence level. You had no
manager, no girlfriend, no boyfriend, no
band. How did you recover from that lack of
confidence? Or did you?
I didn’t, really. I just kept falling into cults.
Especially this one cult where the leader had
his gang build you up and then tear you down.
And the yoyo-ing effect made me lose myself
completely. Luckily, I was invited to Russia with
a group of songwriters, including Diane. It was
an amazing group of songwriters. We went
to Russia and met young and up-and-coming
songwriters there. I had a translator, Olga, who
was from some southern part of Russia and
a Ukrainian rock singer who looked like Jim
Morrison, and they just stuck with me like glue.
He would sleep on the floor next to my bed in
the hotel room. It was forbidden for nationals to
even talk to us, much less be up in our rooms,
and they just stuck with me. And he just showed
me such kindness and we really bonded.
In such a short period of time, like a week, I
bonded with them more than the people I had
been living with for four years in that cult. It
broke the spell. That was in 1988. In 1989, I met
Curtis, my husband. My life was transformed.
I didn’t really have relationship skills. That
one-on-one intimacy...especially with a man. It
took me a long time to learn how to be a good
partner. It’s in the book. We separated. And then
to decide to start a family of our own. It all of a
sudden was not about me anymore. They are
the center of my life.
I always brought something to the table that
helps people with their careers. I worked with
Joan Jett–I wish I worked with her more. Our
song, “I Hate Myself For Loving You”, is a
classic. It became the Sunday Night Football
theme. It was sung by Faith Hill, Pink and Carrie
Underwood, and recently, Dolly Parton recorded
the song featuring Joan Jett, and it’s on her new
album called Rockstar. I’m very excited that I
can now add Dolly Parton to the list of artists I
have collaborated with.

Have you had your ultimate stage fantasy
yet?
My ultimate stage fantasy was more than a
fantasy; it came true. It was performing at the
Acropolis at the foot of the Parthenon in Greece
two years ago. It was a benefit for the Acropolis
Museum, to attract global attention and funding
to help bring the Parthenon Sculptures back
home to Greece from the British Museum,
where they have been held hostage for 200
years. I sold out 4400 seats. Alice Cooper
came to perform. Bonnie Tyler, Rita Wilson
and more. That was my one night where I was
the star. Everyone was singing songs that I
had collaborated on. It was just magnificent. It
was filmed and will become part of my career
documentary.
You do films and stuff too, right?
Yes. We made a film that my husband Curtis
and I co-produced, directed by Heather Winters,
called “TWO: The Story of Roman and Nyro”.
(Nyro was named after the legendary singer/
songwriter Laura Nyro.) We started about 12
years ago and then our sons were like nine-ten
years old and they narrate the film. It’s the story
about how they came to be. You get to visit with
Curtis’s family, mine and [surrogate] Angela
Whittaker’s family. You can trace everyone’s
stories back and see how everyone’s lives came
together to create those two human beings.
They always say, “It takes a village,” but with us,
it took The Village People.
When you write a song, what comes first–the
lyrics or the music?
Originally, I used to try to jam on chords and
then kind of mumble in a little trance, hoping that
my mumbles would transition and sound like
words. And then, let’s say a word will come out
and it will be like a little string that a bird would
pick up and start a nest with. My mentor, Bob
Crewe, taught me to write songs professionally.
You start with knowing what you want to sing
about and what you want to talk about in the
song, and the strongest way to do that is to
have a great title. Especially when you have
the tension of opposites. Like “You Give Love A
Bad Name” or “I Hate Myself For Loving You.”
“Heaven’s On Fire”, “How Can We Be Lovers If
We Can’t Be Friends?” That makes it easier for
the words to flow. You don’t have to go through
dozens of possibilities.
Is there anything that I haven’t covered that
you would like to talk about?
I like to leave with “Live and help live.” My
message is that we have got to stick together so
we don’t lose the meager rights that we have.
We have to keep resisting this horrible wave of
intolerance. It’s not even rational. It’s not like
we are taking anything away from anybody. We
are not taking away people’s money or their
jobs. It’s just simply pure hate and intolerance.
People feel good if they add up a bunch of
hates–it gives them a feeling that they belong
to something. So one group will hate this and
another group will hate that and they kind of
get together and say, “Oh, we can hate two
things.” They are building up a tremendously
terrible situation for our country. I grew up
always hearing words like “melting pot”--that our
differences are our strengths–but it seems that
maybe they never really believed that because
they’re more empowered now, they kind of
share power and go back to what they were
really feeling, that they have kept quiet about.
Remember the “Silent Majority”? They are not
so silent anymore. That stuff is learned. Through
families and communities that promote hatred. I
would like to tell my LGBTQ colleagues to keep
resisting and keep supporting the candidates
that are for us, not against us.

THE DICKENS TURNS ONE!
WE CATCH UP WITH THE DICKENS OWNER BRYAN HANNON
AS THEY APPROACH THEIR FIRST ANNIVERSARY
Hi Bryan. Congratulations on your first year
of business. How are you feeling?
Wow, what a fast year! It’s hard to believe we
are approaching this milestone already. It feels
like we were signing the lease only yesterday,
but at the same time, it feels like the Dickens
has been here forever. I am feeling very
grateful every day.
How has your first year open been?
It has been beyond amazing. We are always
in awe of the love and support from the
community since the first day we opened
our doors. Strangers have become regulars;
regulars have become friends and we continue
to work on building and expanding this
everyday here at the Dickens.
Tell us a bit about where your inspiration
for the Dickens came from?
The Dickens concept was always to be an
elevated LGBTQ+ cocktail bar and restaurant.
To offer something a little different in Hell’s
Kitchen than was currently available. Also, to
have multiple spaces for private events and
celebrations.
We wanted to focus on quality cocktails,
delicious food and creating a unique vibe that
anyone could feel at home in. Being from
Ireland, I wanted to bring the world-famous
Irish hospitality to the LGBTQ+ bars of the
area. I wanted it to be somewhere people can
come for a date, with their friends or family for
an amazing meal, enjoy a martini or dance the
night away, all under the same roof.
What have been some of your highlights in
the last year?
Nothing will ever beat opening the doors on
day one. It was always my dream to open my
own bar. After 13 years in NYC working in
many different types of bars and restaurants,
being able to open not only my own business
but to open one for the LGBTQ+ community,
which I have always been extremely proud to
be a part of, has been amazing.
Our first Pride Month also stands out in my
mind. The entire month, the feeling of love and
celebration was infectious. We also opened
our rooftop at the same time, which felt like
the beginning of a whole new chapter for the
Dickens.
Oh, and Sasha Colby coming to celebrate after
winning her crown on Finale Night of RuPaul’s
Drag Race Season 15 was an incredible night!

What does the Dickens have in store for
year two and beyond?
So much! We are continuously growing,
learning and working on being the best we
can be. We love feedback from our customers
and take everything on board to make sure
we are giving the people what they want and
constantly improving.
We have some revamps planned for a couple
of our event spaces and are already planning
for an early Spring Rooftop reopening, with
many fun new ideas and a new décor. We
never stop working on new food and cocktails
to keep things fresh and interesting.
We aspire to become a staple for the LGBTQ+
community in NYC and we aim to be around
a long time. We also foresee another Dickens
location in the coming few years…
Anything you want to let our readers know
about current goings on at the Dickens?
Of course! We have lots going on every
week. Bottomless Cocktail offerings Monday-
Thursday, Bottomless Bingo Brunch with
Jacklynn Hyde Saturday and Sunday, DJ’s
Wednesday-Saturday Nights. We are open till
3 AM Thursday through Saturday with a Late
Night Happy Hour from midnight with $6 Well
Mixed Drinks and $5 Well Shots.
Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram
@thedickensnyc or check our website
www.thedickensnyc.com to keep up to date
with everything.
And how about you? When you are not at
the Dickens, where do you like to go?
Other than the Dickens haha, Flex is my
favorite bar. They opened this year also and
we all love the place. It has such a welcoming
vibe and the staff is amazing. We were both
nominated for Best Bar and Best Newcomer in
the W42nd St Best of 2023 Awards, and it was
a privilege to be nominated alongside them.
Any last words before I let you go?
I just want to say a huge heartfelt thank you
to every single customer who has supported
us over the last year. The Dickens is nothing
without all of you. Also a huge thank you to
our amazing staff and my business partners
Michael and Patrick McNamee, the owners of
PMacs Hospitality who believed in the vision of
the Dickens and made it all possible.
Year two, here we come!
