Mancow on his own book.

Thanks to all of you that read. I wrote it myself. The reason there is not more about various crew members from years gone by is that I have moved on and did not want to be sued by those I fired.Also, to the complaint that there is to much sex....I agree!!!! Know that this is 2 of my books squeezed into one by the publisher.They wanted far more sex than I! It is silly.To those that doubt me: I've had a top rated radio show in K.C.,Cali., & Chicago, it's all true.Don't hate me because I'm not in a cubicle all day. I've lived!These adventures should have killed me.I find the Hunter S.Thompson comparison most kind.The adventure continues on my radio show...I hope you'll come along. Much Love-MANCOW

Go Mancow, go!

I bought this book 3 weeks after it was released. I read in a total of 2 1/2 hours, spanning 2 days. I couldn't stop reading. I was intrigued. I was shocked, disgusted and most of all, I was amazed. I find Mancow so original and refreshing with his "shock-jock" antics to his political views. A true follower of Thomas Jefferson's ways and his outstanding support of the US Constitution. In an America of Liberal v. Conservative and Dummy-crat v. Republican-not, it's great to hear one voice who will not succumb to the numbness of society and truly cry "freedom". Although today, we might as well cry "attica". From his "trip" through Amsterdam to the freakshows and battles with his id, it's a great background for him to show and emote how much he missies his father, how much he loved and respected a man who wouldn't let his son quit and take the easy sell-out routes in life. If Mancow were son of another man, we might not have this freedom loving, gun-blasting sonofabitch screaming through the radio to wake up and lift the veil. He'll shock with his intellect and surprising turns when he let's a few of his own writings be parts of chapters. A poem that says George Orwell warned us. Some things he does maybe outrageous, but people who have power have done worse. So the next time some judgmental priest or FCC-follower or over-offended person goes off and says that Mancow is the voice of sin and should be stopped, remember, he's freeing our thought, opening our minds and showing us there are other ways. He is the true Pro-Christ and Super-Patriot of an almost lost America. Thank God for Mancow and those who share his dream of a free America.

Great Book

Let me first start off by stating that I live in NYC and have never listened to Mancow's radio show. An old college friend of mine currently lives in Chicago and he always tells me all the time about this funny radio host Mancow Muller. So while in my local bookstore I came across his book and started reading the first chapter. I was instantly hooked and couldn't stop reading. So I purchased the book, went home and read it cover-to-cover. Mancow possesses an overall ideology about life which I relate to more then all these other talking heads out there. His book is emblematic of the man and I really like what this man has to say. Whether it's relishing in the freedom's of Amsterdam, or putting up a fight to the corporate media conglomerations which exist in radio today, Mancow is a man of his convictions. His passages about his father's recent death where touching, if not eloquent and I think every guy out there who recently lost a father, should pick this book up for therapuetic reasons, not to mention his hilarious anecdotes on everything from having sex with a hooker, to his famous closing down of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. Great book!

mancow's soul on paper

mancow tells his tale of his life in a fashion not like other books.he tells it like human thought. He has flashbacks and cut himself off in his mind. But still everything he says connects and comes together in the end. he has spared no feelings and spared no words. His most glorified and his most embarrasing moments are there for us to share with him. Most people that are not familiar with him wil be surprised to find that a man who has been dubbed a "shock jock" by media, has a strong sense of family and devotion to values. you will be touched by this book no matter what your opinion of "the mancow" is!

It makes me love my dad more...

This book is a great read, not only does it take you on a trip to some wild and obscene acts but in the book there are some very heart felt words that in all honesty after reading this book, makes me love my dad more. This book is really worth the read I think you'll be very surprised at how well done this book really is given what you may think of the author. I'm not a super-fan I enjoy Mancow's show not necessarily all of his opinions but this book is really, really good.
