While I'm Dead...Feed the Dog

by Ric Browde

"While I'm Dead...Feed the Dog" is the autobiography of record producer/songwriter/telephone psychic/dog rescuer Ric Browde - all of it true except for the places where Browde lied. On September 20, 2013 the movie adaptation of "While I'm Dead...Feed the Dog," will be released under the title "Behaving Badly" and stars Selena Gomez, Mary-Louise Parker, Heather Graham, Elizabeth Shue, Jason Lee, Dylan McDermott, Gary Busey and Patrick Warburton. For those of you who enjoy looking smarter than all your friends, by smugly saying "The book was better than the movie," this is the book and movie for you!

Written by songwriter/music producer and eight time platinum and eleven time gold awards winner Ric Browde, the novel explores teenage angst, love & sex and rock 'n roll in the '70s. Browde, who has sold over twenty million albums has worked with such artists as Poison, Joan Jett and Ted Nugent. From narcoleptic nuns, nymphomaniacs, the Mafia, a huckster televangelist, dying Latin teachers, corrupt school administrators, inept policemen, unscrupulous lawyers, buffoon reporters, half -- witted rock and roll musicians, transsexual record company presidents, drug addicted disc jockeys, greedy family members and the lovely Nina Pennington, this novel is a must for anyone who lived or wanted to live in the '70s as a teenager.

I love this book! You laugh so hard starting at page one! This is one of the funniest books I've ever read and I wish there were more like it! This is full of dark humor that will leave you wanting more and if read out in public I promise you may get some funny looks from laughing!

Perhaps the funniest, darkest novel I have ever read... I could not put it down and often, as a practicing Catholic, embarrassed myself by laughing at blasphemous things. This book is a must read!

Well, that's what I get for buying a book for $0.20

One of the funniest, wickedest best written novels I have ever read.

Tripped over this book among my possessions and I believe that it came with a 45 record if anyone remembers what that is. I'm sure that I bought it because of the title. It's quirky, clever and funny. I've remembered it for years so that's saying something. It has an ironic dark humor with stupid characters and I remember thinking that it was such a unique book. So if you're sick of 'same old, same old' try to find this. Keep an open mind and let it grow on you, sort of like poison ivy.
The title gives you an idea of the sense of humor.

Started off very strong. I loved it, and then it could not sustain it. Interesting attempt at bring music into reading. The main character ins in an improbable band and so there is a CD that accompanies the book and you are supposed to listen at eac

Although some parts were funny, this book was not really my style. I did not find the characters very relatable or even very likeable.
