There's a great article in the Tribune this weekend about Chicago writer Bill Zehme. Zehme is the author of a lot of books about celebrities (including Johnny Carson, Hugh Hefner, Frank Sinatra, and Andy Kaufman), and he also contributed to the Eckhartz Press book "Records Truly Is My Middle Name".
The article is all about his struggles the past few years. He has been suffering through colon cancer. It sounds like things are looking up for him, and that's great news.
He's a great guy. Rooting for you, Bill.
