Quote: Too Fat to Fish . It's Artie Lange's memoir.
Lol. I'm reading that now. My booty call suggested getting the book on tape version for total comedy since Artie's near illiterate and had to read passages from his own book aloud.
I got all choked up in the beginning when he talks about meeting Frankie Valli with his pop. Funny, I don't find him illiterate at all. He sounds pretty sharp for a fat Jersey cokehead wannabe jock...
He had a lackie come over every night and take dictation and then turn around and clean it up into a more intelligible written form (he said so on the air). You didn't actually think Arthur sat in front of a computer keyboard hunting and pecking his way to a finished book did you? Don't get me wrong I love Artie - he's the only good thing left on the show these days - and someone else doing the "screwdriver work" actually fitting his stories into nice sentences doesn't take away from the stories, but it is what it is.
I've been listening to Stern since I think '93 and still listen every day but for some reason have no interest in the books or videos that they've put out over the years.
