AnnotationIn this engaging memoir, broadcast journalist Studs Terkel recalls his long and eventful life, from his early years growing up in a rooming house run by his mother, followed by a career in show business as a manager of a club, as well as his long and memorable stint on radio as the host of a long-running program on which he interviewed virtually everybody who was anybody--including, in the early '60s, a young singer by the name of Bob Dylan. Terkel is credited with having invented the oral history form, and in his books such as WORKING and THE GOOD WAR he brought out the lives of everyday people through their own voices. Studs tells a good tale himself, and these colorful memories attest to his status as Chicago's premier raconteur.
