I escaped the Evangelical World for some place far less crazy: Hollywood. There I made four low-budget movies that you might catch on late-night cable. Then I wrote a novel called Portofino which got some pretty great reviews and gave me permission to continue to be a writer. I had found, it seemed, something I was actually good at, as opposed to making these second-rate movies or my work in The God Business™. Then I wrote a book with my son about the Marine Corps and the meaning of service called Keeping Faith, which became a best-seller and got me in the chair with Oprah. But the whole time I was putting off telling my story, which I finally told in Crazy for God. That’s when I got an email from Christopher Hitchens.
From Hollywood to Hitchens

What the Frank! How come I can’t view your video? When I click on it, I get a message, “Video Unavailable–This video may no longer exist, or you don’t have permission to view it. Learn More.” Not that I want to “Learn More,” but when I clicked on that, I got sent to a Facebook instruction page that advised me to restart my browser, or update my browser, or do something that I don’t know what it said because my ADHD kicked in and I stopped reading. C’mon, Frank, give an old dude a break and fix things on your end, will ya? I gotta tell ya, that “you don’t have permission to view it” crap really makes you sound elitist. Is that what happens when your guy wins the White House? Anyway, gotta go now. I’ll check back later. Me and about two or three other people are the only ones who do anymore. Take care, Bro. Love ya, Man!
