Review

"[A] very entertaining memoir....WE'LL BE HERE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES may disappoint readers looking for juicy celebrity gossip. But it will delight those looking for persuasive evidence that making music for a living is every bit as cool as it seems."

Publisher's note

From Paul Shaffer, lifelong music junkie, hipster, and longtime leader of David Letterman's band, comes a candid, endearing, hilarious, and star-studded memoir of a life in-and love of-show business.
How does a kid go from a remote Canadian town at the tip of Lake Superior to the bright lights of Broadway and a gig leading the band on "Letterman"? This book is Paul Shaffer's answer to that question. From playing seedy strip joints in Toronto, to his first legitimate job out of college-which found him working with future stars (and friends) Gilda Radner, Martin Short, and Eugene Levy-to being first musical director of the nascent "Saturday Night Live" and helping to form the Blues Brothers, to being onstage every night with Dave and playing with the greatest musicians of our time, Shaffer has lived the ultimate showbiz life.
Now, in this hilarious, entertaining, and candid memoir-in which he dishes on everyone from John Belushi and Jerry Lewis to Mel Gibson and Britney Spears-Paul gives us the full behind-the-scenes story of his life, from banging out pop tunes on the piano at the age of twelve to leading the band every night at the Sullivan Theater.

"From the Hardcover edition."

Annotation

Paul Shaffer recounts his life as an entertainer in the candid and amusing WE'LL BE HERE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. Shaffer maps his journey from playing tiny clubs in his hometown Toronto, to becoming the bandleader on THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN. He discusses his experience working on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE from its earliest stages, and talks of his close friendships with John Belushi and Gilda Radner. Pop culture fans will love his off-the-cuff tales of celebs, including stories of Mel Gibson and Britney Spears, as Shaffer offers an insider's perspective on show business.
