Book Reviews of I Had the Right to Remain Silent...But I Didn't Have the Ability

Book Review: Foxworthy, What Has thou Wrought?
Summary: 5 Stars

Ron White is not JUST a Comedian, like Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy (and a handful of others like Bernie Mac, Kat Williams and Chris Rock), he has become a genuine American institution. He is the "genuine article" and this book tells why.

Not only does it contain all of his most famous jokes, but the least famous ones as well. It gives us a window into his soul, the very reasons for his immense talent: It grows directly out of his experiences, which are nothing if not a checkerboard of ups and downs, barely surviving on the thinnest edge of the margins of U.S. society. But then with a "game" and irresistible ability to bounce back, White rides his "Texas cowboy persona" back into town and on to success. His "highs" always kept getting "higher" than his "lows," until he finally hit the jackpot on the "Blue Collar Comedy tour."

But that is not the best part: The best part is the book also tells us how he became a comedian. Interspersed between his best and his worst jokes, Tater tells us all about these "ups" and "downs": The long period of incubation; his drug, women and marriage habits; all those trips back and forth across the U.S. in his pickups, vans and buses; his raucous late night "creeping" and partying, even his art business in Mexico, and on and on.

For those who love White's comedy, this is a collectors item; for those who don't yet know him, this is an unimaginable surprise: Either way it's a win-win: We all are immeasurably enriched by his talents, and that includes him. Five stars.

Summary of I Had the Right to Remain Silent...But I Didn't Have the Ability

After years working as a journeyman comic, struggling from one gig to the next, Ron White-now known by fans (and law enforcement officials) as "Tater Salad"-struck gold with the Blue Collar Comedy phenomenon.

Here, Ron brings his unique brand of humor to the page, accompanied by hilarious illustrations by acclaimed cartoonist Matthew Schultz. For hardcore "Tater" fans and first-timers, this is Ron White at his very best.
