Bill Walton will be signing “Back From The Dead” at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Barnes & Noble at the Grove in Los Angeles.He was back in his home near Balboa Park in San Diego, but the 63-year-old had just hours earlier unfolded his bigger-than-life 6-foot-11 self after a cross-country flight from New York. Four days of signings,Being home reminded him that, just before he left, his faithful dog Cortez died.
A: It’s because I can now do that. For so many years, I couldn’t even lift my arms because my spine was so bad. It is a very celebratory pose that people use when things are going great. And right now I’ve never been better or busier. Or this healthy since I was 13 years old. Both ankles are fused. Got a new knee. A new spine. I never thought I would be pain free. I’m lucky.A: I’d like to. I know how many people have sacrificed for me so that I could live and dream.
Now that my life has changed so much, I’m old, I’m involved in businesses as a participant as opposed to enriching myself. I’ve learned how exciting and stimulating the business world can be, all the interesting people to meet, hugely successful people. I can spend a ton of time with young start-up guys, the dreamers, the entrepreneurs, the visionaries and all those things I’m involved in.
A: I hope that number stays permanent as the Grateful Dead number keeps growing. My ankle fusions were catastrophic. I haven’t been able to run in 30 years. Fusion surgery sounds awful, and it is awful, incredibly painful. Yet it does take the pain away. Even though my feet and ankles are all one bone now, they don’t hurt. I don’t walk for pleasure. Only for function, to get through an airport, to kiss my wife. My exercise is going to a pool, a weight room and riding my bike.
