Wolfman Jack with Byron Laursen

“Wolfman Jack has set himself a lofty goal; he vowed to tell it like it really is, an oft-quoted but seldom-realized credo of rock & roll. Happily, if amazingly, Wolfman Jack succeeded in getting it right, and just in time.”

“Chapters 7 and 8 of his book, which describe how he put himself on the air as Wolfman Jack in 1963, suggest a white-hot rock & roll epic that draws on elements of “The Buddy Holly Story,” “The Wild Bunch,” and “Barbarians at the Gate.”

Pat Riley with Byron Laursen

“A dramatic, engaging book that cogently explains the success of one of modern America’s great sports franchises.

“Riley comes off like a literary lion in GQ clothes.”

“Inspiring… …refreshing to read a sports book in which the (male) players unabashedly reveal vulnerability and soul.”
