A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat - Lazy and Stupid
A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat - Lazy and Stupid

Review:I used to really like Dennis Leary. His “No Cure for Cancer” album was something that I listened to a lot, and could recite the routines and sing the songs by heart. I was maybe a little young to be listening to it, so it had this illicit air about it. Leary was unapologetically who he was, and no one could take that from him. I wanted to be just like that!

But that was the 90s. Maybe it was a backlash to the perceived PC movement or something, but what worked for him on that album is car... Read more

The Best and the Brightest (Hardcover)
The Best and the Brightest (Hardcover)

Review:Proof positive that the possession of power does not imply the presence of wisdom. The giddy expansiveness of the American spirit which had served us so we'll in our first 200 years clouded our vision to the subtleties of Asia. Read more

100 Images to Inspire Creativity and Relaxation - Disney Villains

Review:This coloring book is much more beautiful than the photos show! It is more of a 'hardcover' & the illustrations are stunning! I'm almost afraid to actually color inbit for fear of messing them up. Read more

A Life Recording Hits with The Rolling Stones - the Faces . . .

Review:I am enjoying this book. It's more about encounters with people. If looking for a mixing tutorial this is not it, but if you are interested in the career steps of Glyn Johns and who he worked with its worth reading. Read more

I Me Mine: The Extended Edition
I Me Mine: The Extended Edition

Review:George's book is too self centered, it barely speaks of The Beatles, that are the one thing that made him. Another detail, that may be considered good or bad, is that he explains each and every song he made. It consumes half the book, but it's interesting. Read more

I Am Brian Wilson: A Memoir
I Am Brian Wilson: A Memoir

Review:Brian's story was very interesting as a lifelong Beach Boys fan, but the storytelling jumps around chronologically quite a bit. It might be the way Brian thinks, which is cool, but I found it tough at times to know where we were at. Read more

Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture - Female Chauvinist Pigs
Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture - Female Chauvinist Pigs

Review:I found out about this book by watching Ladies Day on the Colbert Report TV show. Several things got my attention about the book. The author, Ariel Levy, seems about my age so I figured our world views would be similar. I'd been watching the reality TV show, Flavor of Love season two on VH1. The jaw dropping behavior of the contestants both appalled me and made me feel like an old fogey. For instance, there was a scene when the women decided to have a stripper pole dance contest. Most of t... Read more

Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America
Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America

Review:As always, a thoughtful, funny dismissal of socialist tactics. I remember how Reagan would announce a funding change in the afternoon, and within hours, CNN would have a string of 'victims' showing their suffering... even though the change would not go in effect till months later. The MSM's love affair with Bush haters was great. Remember Linda Ronstadt? The only way she normally could get press is by dying or getting arrested... until she says something bad about Bush!
