Wishing the wild one well

wishing the wild one well: Legendary singer Bobby Rydell, a product of South Philly’s Lower Moyamensing neighborhood, fraternized with fans and friends Friday at Popi’s Italian Restaurant, 3120 S. 20th St., to mark the recent release of “Teen Idol On The Rocks: A Tale of Second Chances.” The autobiography tells of his pop supremacy in the 1960s, fight with and subsequent triumph over alcoholism, and lasting influence on the music world. ■
