"I was lucky enough to grow up during the golden age of Top 40 AM radio and enjoying the best DJs in the business. We all listened to Bill Randle, Carl Reese, Phil McLean, Johnny Holiday, and of course Alan Freed and Mad Daddy. We exhibited our 'smarts' by pretending to know which hits would be # 1, next week. What my friends didn't know was my inside track with DJ's like Alan Freed coming to my house to go over play lists with my dad Leo who, of course, told Alan what would be 'selling' the next week. Although a distant memory, I believe Rock 'n' Roll owes its existence to all these great jocks giving the music we loved a vehicle to expand, last, and become part of our entire generation. Radio today isn't a shadow of the media of the 50's and 60's when the personalities like Pete 'Mad Daddy' truly were bigger than life and made radio fun to listen to. Now, when I was certain I remembered that good old age, these pages thoughtfully written by Janice and Mike Olszewski do indeed inform me of how much I didn't know."
- Stuart Mintz, son of Leo Mintz, who saw it all firsthand
"Rick (Lux) would be upstairs in his bedroom at our house spinning his countless collection of early rock n roll records, reading Mad magazine, and listening to the Mad Daddy radio show fueling his fire for his love of rock n roll. I was his young toddler brother first witnessing all this and seeing for the first time who was to become the great rock n roll madman Lux Interior of the Cramps. It was a powerful sight that created my own fire for music. Lux would be the first in line to buy this book."
- Michael Purkhiser, musician, writer and electronics designer
"The story of Pete Myers and his on-air persona, the Mad Daddy, is finally set straight in Janice and Mike Olszewski's ultimate bio of this legendary Cleveland radio god. This long-anticipated tome is a bubbling brew of history and hysterics, filled with facts and foibles of the fast-talking disc jockey who unknowingly influenced generations of bop-infested no-counts, and reset the horizontal for all inspired radio to come. Essential reading and absolutely recommended!"
- Miriam Linna, Cramps / Norton Records / Kicksville Radio
"I've been to Alan Phreed's grave in Cleveland, and Mad Daddy left us long ago. This book lets their memory live on!"
- Phlash Phelps, Sirius XM "Sixties Gold"

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
