This book is an album of his favorite entertainment articles, in a "writer's cut"--the way they appeared before certain deranged editors got their hands on them.

Funny smart writing that not only taps into some of the greatest moments of pop culture history but also makes you feel like you are reading the memoir of a goofy version of the most interesting man in the world.
