Book Reviews of The Facts of Life: and Other Dirty Jokes
Book Review: Willie can do no wrong, but this is close.
Summary: 2 Stars
First, let me state emphatically that I am a huge Willie Nelson fan. He is, by far, my favorite recording artist and I have seen him in concert three times. That said, there is not much in this book to recommend it. There are a few very funny jokes, although not that dirty. There are dozens of simple, yet profound, song lyrics, mostly of his lesser known works. As a reader, I would have preferred to hear Willie sing them. Willie tells you he is in favor of the family farm, God, marijuana, less government. He is against smoking. He plays golf and jogs. Everybody seems to be his best friend. But, if you are a Willie fan, you already know that. And there's the problem. I didn't read anything about him I didn't already know. Damn, I wish he would really get serious about writing an autobiography. There is so much I would love to learn about Willie, but it's not here. Save your money and buy another Willie CD.
Summary of The Facts of Life: and Other Dirty Jokes
If you had to give America a voice, it?s been said more than once, that voice would be Willie Nelson?s. For more than fifty years, he?s taken the stuff of his life?the good and the bad?and made from it a body of work that has become a permanent part of our musical heritage and kept us company through the good and the bad of our own lives. So it?s fitting, and cause for celebration, that he has finally set down in his own words a book that does justice to his great gifts as a storyteller. In The Facts of Life, Willie Nelson reflects on what has mattered to him in life and what hasn?t. He also tells some great dirty jokes. The result is a book as wise and hilarious as its author.Music Books
