Summary:
Shock jock. Curmudgeon. New York's Dirty Little Secret. Morning
Mouth. Radio's first bad boy. All of these have been used to describe
John Donald Imus Jr.--and all of them are squarely on target. For
over twenty-five years, Don Imus has been spewing his own antic brand
of venom over the nation's airwaves, at times entertaining nearly
fifteen million listeners a week. Imus's rocky road to glory is
recounted for the first time in Everything Imus. Author Jim Reed, who
hosts one of the most successful Imus Web sites on the Internet, has
crafted a lighthearted but in-depth profile of one of radio's most
controversial personalities. Named one of Time magazine's 25 Most
Influential People of l997, Imus has had more than his share of
career ups and downs. From U.S. Marine to starving musician, Imus
made it to the top of the broadcast heap in just four years. Along
the way, he battled serious drug and alcohol abuse before becoming
America's favorite acid-tongued shock jock. Everything Imus
chronicles Imus's public battles with politicians from both parties,
including his skewering of President Clinton at the Washington Radio
and Television Correspondent's Dinner in l996--which propelled the
Imus show to "must-hear" status. Everything Imus is certain to
attract attention from the I-Man himself in view of his recent
formation of a book club similar to Oprah Winfrey's. Unauthorized,
hugely entertaining, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Everything Imus
is sure to become a hit.
