Sports fans see Joe Buck everywhere: broadcasting one of the biggest games in the NFL every week, calling the World Series every year, announcing the Super Bowl every three years. They know his father, Jack Buck, is a broadcasting legend and that he was beloved in his adopted hometown of St. Louis. Yet they have no idea who Joe really is. Or how he got here. In Lucky Bastard, Joe takes the listener into the broadcast booth and into his childhood home. Hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking, this is a book that any sports fan will love.

What You Would Expect and a Little More
Revisado: 06-27-17
Joe Buck sounds like the Joe Buck you know, with touching stories about his dad Jack; his perspective of his rise to broadcasting fame; and personal details about his family. His description of losing his voice is especially poignant. If you can put up with his occasional whining about his fame; and his arrogance in talking about his lack of arrogance; and too much talk about hair plugs, this is a good listen. I loved the story about Mike Shannon describing a group of French students attending a Cards game. Late in the book, Joe states that he is not really a fan of any team except the St. Louis Blues, which will make most St. Louis Cardinals fans shake their heads both in disbelief and agreement.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 3
On August 28, 1963, over a quarter-million people - two-thirds black and one-third white - held the greatest civil rights demonstration ever. In this major reinterpretation of the Great Day - the peak of the movement - Charles Euchner brings back the tension and promise of the march. Building on countless interviews, archives, FBI files, and private recordings, this hour-by-hour account offers intimate glimpses into the lives of those key players and ordinary people who converged on the National Mall to fight for civil rights in the March on Washington.

Too many errors
Revisado: 03-31-15
What would have made Nobody Turn Me Around better?
The book's subject and title interested me, however, it disappointed me with errors. I gave up listening when I heard that MLK became a priest...
Would you recommend Nobody Turn Me Around to your friends? Why or why not?
No. It is too shallow and has too many historical mistakes
