Rubbing Elbows
is the wondrous story of one teacher's impassioned undertaking to bring hope and enlightenment to his students in a time of cultural crisis. Joey Nobleman marshals a bevy of celebrity acquaintances including Morgan Freeman, Tony Bennett, and Sting, in a majestic celebration of individuality, creativity, and universal humanism. Part travel philosophy, part biography, part social and political critique, this unique work delivers an entertaining and edifying reading experience that taps into the times and the eternities. Travel along with Joey to New York City, the home of celebrity, freedom, and enlightenment, a journey not to be missed, and one desperately needing to be taken in this time of censorship, repression, and oppression of free speech, thought, and art.
