From the Observer this week:

Kevin Von Erich is doing a talk show on 9/1 at the Majestic Theater in Dallas to talk about his life, his family and his career called “Stories from the Top rope.” It’s gotten a lot of media publicity and local talk in Dallas

I have not heard a word about this but I assume the target audience for both the media publicity and local talk is much older than me. Anyone 50 and up are still huge Von Erich marks
