We'll Be Here For the Rest of Our Lives: A Swingin' Show-biz Saga (Paul Shaffer) 5

I loved this book. As a music fan I loved all the incredible stories told by a man who has jammed and chilled with all the greats. The book is told in a conversational style which makes it feel as if you're sitting at the table with Paul. It's a hilarious, charming walk through the past 5 decades of music and pop-culture. Great job Paul!

We'll Be Here For the Rest of Our Lives: A Swingin' Show-biz Saga (Paul Shaffer) 2

I was impressed listening to Paul Shaffer talking to David Letterman about his book. Paul is obviously an intelligent, witty man who is an extraordinarily talented musician. His book however jumped from one life incident to another with very little information to contextualize his stories. In a word, his descriptions were shallow and were presented like his interactions on the Late Night show with Dave: snappy, somewhat funny, occasionally hilarious but with no depth. He is and has been a man on the move who barely reflects on his experiences and one runs along side him in this autobiography wishing he'd slow down long enough to savor an experience or two with him.
