Hey Nick...
As for Clarence's BIG MAN. It is liberally sprinkled with the f-word...like every chapter....sometimes every other page, sometimes every other paragraph...sometimes every other sentence, etc. etc.
It is a good and fast read. The chapters vary from 1-5 pages. When Clarence tells a story, the pages are in white, and when Don tells the story, they are in gray.
The book is a pleasant read, like the authors are talking to you. The only *problem* is that you don't know what's truth or what is fiction...I guess that's why it's subtitled "Real Life & Tall Tales".
He mentions a meeting with Frank Sinatra, who is contemplating recording BORN TO RUN with acoustic guitars. Then there's a chapter on a reported *legend* of running into Graucho Marx on the phone, etc.
I really enjoyed it and ended up thinking about the stories as I was driving or doing other life things - so the book stayed on my mind.
