Goody. Sonny\u2019s book was factually flawed and he was sober during the creation of it. I&#39;m not holding out much hope for a pristine account of events.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some Cher-related excerpts as reviewed by Susannah Cahalan:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>In 1973, he met Cher at one of his shows. She was far from a fan, only ever having heard the song \u201cRamblin\u2019 Man.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Allman had a serious crush on the singer, \u201cShe smelled like I would imagine a mermaid would smell,\u201d he writes. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Damp and sea-weedy?]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>He convinced a friend to ask her out for him by bribing him with the promise of a white Cadillac. She agreed. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>After a terrible first date, when Allman took Cher to a fellow drug addict\u2019s house and shot up in the bathroom, they hit it off on the second date when they went out dancing. She wore a thousand-dollar, beaded Bob Mackie that just covered her breasts. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>After dancing all night, he accompanied her back to her 36-room mansion. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cShe started ripping my f&#8212;ing clothes off,\u201d he writes. \u201cShe was hot to trot, man, and we made some serious love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em> The relationship blossomed fast, even though his bandmates disliked the coupling. Over time, however, she won them over.&#0160; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Like when she saved their pitiful finances by encouraging them to pay attention to where their income was going?]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201cShe had the filthiest mouth in show business, and the guys in the band thought she was quite a trip,\u201d he writes.<\/em><br \/>&#0160;<br \/><em>All the while, Allman was thinly veiling his heroin addiction. Cher, whose own father was a drug addict, he writes, was \u201cnaive\u201d about it. Then, in 1975, after two years of dating, Cher casually mentioned, \u201cWell, listen \u2014 Mr. Harrah, who\u2019s a good friend of mine, has sent us down his private jet. I was thinking we\u2019d fly over to Vegas and get married.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em> \u201cWell, why not?\u201d he replied. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>It was rough sailing from the beginning. He continued to use behind her back, and both threatened to file for divorce during the first year of marriage (Cher actually did file four days after their wedding when she found his stash).<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em> The band broke up in 1976, right after the birth of his son Elijah Blue, prompting people to call Cher the Allman Brothers Band\u2019s Yoko Ono.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Living with Cher wasn\u2019t easy, he writes. When he\u2019d want to go out for a quiet dinner, there would almost always be \u201cat least 35 f&#8212;ing photographers waiting for us when we got there,\u201d implying Cher had called the paparazzi on herself.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>But it wasn\u2019t easy living with the moody, difficult and drug-addled Allman, either. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>When Chaz Bono \u2014 then Chastity, Cher\u2019s daughter who underwent a sex change in 2008 \u2014 was interviewed by Howard Stern recently, she explained how bizarre living with a rock-star drug addict was. \u201cHe picked me up from school once and got lost on the way home,\u201d Chaz said. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>But for Allman the last straw with Cher was about the music. \u201cI was really glad she never asked me what I thought of her singing, because I\u2019m sorry but she\u2019s not a very good singer,\u201d he writes. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sigh. Where to begin? First of all, I\u2019m willing to concede that Cher is not one of the greatest singers but to say that she\u2019s not very good at all is to say she can\u2019t sing. Which is disingenuous. Please decide, rock and roll elite, if unflawed singing is an important component or not. Because there are plenty of flawed singers in the pantheon. Secondly, Cher, please write a rebuttal bio to these husband-tale-alls!<\/p>\n<p>Excerpts from:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/p\/news\/opinion\/books\/rock_and_hard_place_QuHeXgBSoHEbbDh93ux67L\">http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/p\/news\/opinion\/books\/rock_and_hard_place_QuHeXgBSoHEbbDh93ux67L<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking for Cher fans, I can say this &quot;My Cross to Bear&quot; is an apropos title: Allman has indeed always been our Cher-fan&#39;s cross to bear.
