A snake, an octopus, and the near death of Johnny Ramone. The almost true account of the 1977 New York City blackout.

Set in the 1970s, the story's capstone is the 1977 New York City blackout. New York City Glow introduces us to Ray, the snake, a sad, lonely, middle-aged insurance salesman from Midway, Kentucky, looking for a better life. Strawberry is a Glow Octopus (Stauroteuthis syrtensis) with an inability to control her glow.

Strawberry finds herself in constant trouble; she has a prison record and an FBI file to prove it. The unlikely pair embark on a road trip to New York City, where they rub shoulders with rock royalty. Things get electricβ€”in more ways than one.

This tale is a tribute to all kinds of music, from elevator to opera.
