Review
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. You will laugh; youll laugh and youll laugh.By Thinking ReaderThe "Glossary of Terms" chapter is worth the price of this book; alone! Two examples: (1) "PRESS RELEASE: Lies sent to newspapers; radio and TV. Also; how you open the bathroom door on a tour bus." (2) BANJO PLAYER: Person who has never said the phrase; "Wanna go for a ride in my Porsche?"Some of my favorite stories in the book include: Glued naked to the bathroom floor. A dope-smokin chimp. Brad Paisley is a cat. Waylon and "The Autoblow". Vince Gill misses a putt and "Its Helicopter Time!" "I also want to announce here in public that I once kissed Keith Urban."As funny as Gerry was on the air all those years we listened to him; this book is just as funny. Its also a candid look at some of the stars of country music in ways that most fans never get to see. This is a book youll enjoy reading - I know I did!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A quick read that provides lots of laughs and a little insight into the country music industryBy ABHI loved it. Every minute of it. But wait; I should be honest and tell you that Ive been a Gerry House fan since; I dont know; forever. Also; I grew up in small town Middle Tennessee AND I work in Nashville in the music industry. So; yeah; I might be slightly biased.This book is comfortable. And by comfortable; I guess I really mean familiar. I understand completely when he talks about growing up "in the sticks" and the small town way of life. I also understand references to places and events like Maudes and the BMI Awards and the people in the stories. If you are a fan of country music; especially the country music of the 80s and 90s; or if you work in the Nashville music industry; I think youll like this book. If you are a Gerry House fan; youll love this book because hes been gone from our daily lives for so long and these stories are typical Gerry House. Its funny!The book made me miss Waylon; Minnie Pearl; and Marty Robbins especially. I will never understand that Taylor Swift story but; then again; I have no one in Taylors camp to tell me the other side. Ive only heard one side and its presented here exactly the way I heard it. I loved (LOVED!) the Narvel Blackstock story. People in the industry should take notes after reading that one! Oh; and Marty Robbins singing a Gene Autry song (on-air live) after Gerry House said he looked like Gene Autrys limo driver? Classic! How many country stars could (or would) do that these days? No; Ranger Doug does not count. I also enjoyed hearing his travel stories. The bits about China were especially interesting to me.So; there you go. I dont think thats a good review but this book seems difficult to review. I loved it. I thought it was funny. Will you love it? Will you think its funny? I have no idea but I think you should give it a shot.P.S. I guess I should mention that while Ive met Gerry House; he doesnt know me from Adam (or Eve).1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Delightful Romp through Country MusicBy wanderingstormSo I have to admit that prior to reading this book; I had no clue who Gerry House was. After reading it; I wish Id known who he was years ago. Mr. House has provided a witty; insightful; tongue-in-cheek; and often downright hilarious take on his years in the country music business. He shares experiences hes had with some of the country greats (and some of the not-so-greats) and isnt afraid to tell it like it is with some of the biggest names in the business; while at other times being careful not to call out certain artists for their antics (though he often gives just enough clues to let you know who hes talking about without being scandalous). What I really liked about this book was that rather than just being a run-through of his experiences; Mr. House offers commentary on a variety of the subjects he brings up; making it not just a biography but a really good look at one mans view of the business hes watched move and change over the years. i did knock off a star because sometimes Mr. House rambled himself into a corner and I had to actually go back to figure out what he was talking about when he did get back on track again. Also; in some instances I wish he HAD provided more details. because some snippets seemed too short to make it seem worthwhile to have included in the book in the first place.
