Publisher's Notes
First Line: "My friend Jann Wenner, the editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, the rock and roll bible, called me excitedly the day after Bill Clinton was nominated for the presidency. He had spent the previous night at a party, celebrating with Clinton. "He's one of us," Jann said. "He'll be the first rock and roll president in American history.""
Industry Reviews
"[A] sort of riff, a diatribe of first-person speculation, multiple voice regurgitation of everything you've already heard, no longer care about and are quite rightly disgusted by: Monicagate....An exploration of the underbelly of our national sexual psychosis..."
Obst
"The whole book is scabrous, grotesque, beyond the pale....Much of the narrative that Eszterhas has assembled is brilliantly plausible and some of the connections...are exhilarating in their audacity."
McNamee
"Eszterhas found himself consumed by the need to make sense of it all, his only recourse was a fact-based, ranting, rocking-and-rolling screed with none of the full-frontal scissored out....There are two or three chapters that rise above this, however, and that illustrate Eszterhas's hit-or-miss talent. He has acquired a real feeling for...Monica Lewinsky....He fashions a near-brilliant evocation of the qualities of Vernon Jordan....And he is extremely funny about the shrink defenses that the first lady and other amateurs have proposed."
