Jennifer Egan brings her unique gifts as a novelist and short story writer to a compulsively listenable narrative that centers on Bennie Salazar, an aging punk rocker and record executive, and the beautiful Sasha, the passionate, troubled young woman he employs.

I honestly just found the book pointless and a bit hard to follow....and there were some parts where I have to believe I just misunderstood what they were getting at. I don't enjoy sad, have plenty of my own. Felt like it was just a bummer without a point. Also didn't care for the narration-even when sped up it had that lazy lackadaisical delivery that's a bit kardashian-y. No thanks.

Dave Holmes has spent his life on the periphery, nose pressed hopefully against the glass, wanting just one thing: to get inside. Growing up, he was the artsy son in the sporty family. At his all-boys high school and Catholic college, he was the closeted gay kid surrounded by crush-worthy straight guys. And in his 20s, in the middle of a disastrous career in advertising, he accidentally became an MTV VJ overnight when he finished second, naturally, in the Wanna Be a VJ contest, opening the door to fame, fortune, and celebrity - you know, almost.

Kidding. It was a fun listen. Very relatable, particularly for people who grew up with MTV. He has a nice voice, is a good storyteller, and seems like an all around fun guy!

From 1962 until 1992, Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show and permeated the American consciousness. In the ’70s and ’80s he was the country’s highest-paid entertainer and its most enigmatic. He was notoriously inscrutable, as mercurial (and sometimes cruel) off-camera as he was charming and hilarious onstage. During the apex of his reign, Carson’s longtime lawyer and best friend was Henry Bushkin, who now shows us Johnny Carson with a breathtaking clarity and depth that nobody else could.

Shouldv'e been called "Bushkin and Carson"

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
No idea. An entertainment lawyer?
What could Henry Bushkin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Done more research, this book isn't about Johnny Carson so much as Bushkin's experiences with Carson.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Always sounded like he was attempting to mimic the subject but missed by a mile.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not really.
Any additional comments?
I can't stress enough that this book is really more about the lawyer than Carson. It's not very flattering and comes off as mostly bitter.
