Plastic Jesus

By Poppy Z. Brite
Plastic Jesus by Poppy Z. Brite digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The 1960's brought Seth and Payton all they'd fantasized about—perfect friendships, a successful four-man band, and most importantly, each other. Together they embarked on a tour that brought them stimulating highs and shattering lows, and they prospered and suffered in one another's arms. The two men carried each other and carried a group that created both a history and a future for rock. But at some point their music blurred with the news of their love and the world was faced with the choice to embrace its heroes or revert back to its deep-rooted prejudices.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“The world would certainly have been better if John and Paul had been gay.”
“Decided to read this out of morbid curiosity, because the very fact that this is Beatles RPF with the serial numbers filed off was so hilarious and baffling to me that I had to at least give it a chance in hopes that it might end up surprising me. And to be fair it did indeed surprise me. I had no clue John Lennon and Paul McCartney threw the first bricks at Stonewall.”
