Product Description

Product Description

While plumbing the depths of American mass culture for this book, something worrying began happening to Joe Queenan - he started enjoying Liberace albums and he developed a compulsion to watch "The A Team". This book maps the author's journey into the depths of schlock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly hilarious, 29 April 2008
Hilarious. Queenan decides to examine the worst of American popular culture. Then he finds something unwelcome happening. He gets hooked.

His journey from CATS through Phil Collins and Kenny G to Las Vegas and beyond are hilariously chronicled. No target is safe, from Danny Glover movies to Geraldo Riviera and Virginia Andrews novels. All with biting wit

You don't need to get every single reference. You'll get all the important ones. And its truly sidesplittingly funny. Whether its comparing the Incans to Greg Norman or comparing the cast of 'The Breakfast Club' to a list of speakers at the Nuremberg rallies he remains in total comedic control. One of the few authors who can make me laugh out loud in public places.
