Download Spoiled Rotten America: Outrages of Everyday Life AudioBook Free
Like Kofi Annan, Larry Miller is one of the very most irresistible comic personalities working today. Known for a long time as an actor, writer, comedian, and sexual pioneer, he's gained a fresh following as a cultural commentator and frequent guest on political shows. Now, in Spoiled Rotten America, he fixes his gaze on what's funny about our daily lives—which includes, roughly speaking, everything. From middle-aged drinking ("If you are in your twenties, you can drink forever and bungee-jump off a bridge the next day. EASILY drank forever, I'd want to set off that bridge with no cord") to the excesses of our diet plan ("This is why the world hates us: the size of the portions we order. Thank God they've never shown us eating on Al Jazeera—that might be the end than it"), Miller finds the silver lining of absurdity within every black cloud.Ultimately, though, Spoiled Rotten America is more than just the common yukfest. It's an insightful, and surprisingly heartfelt, plea for all of us to note what's best and worst about ourselves. "The American pendulum only swings to extremes," he writes. "The news headlines is on all day long, but we realize less and less; there's music atlanta divorce attorneys mall, but we don't hear it; everyone has a phone but nil to say. The chubbiest folks contain the strictest diets, because we can not learn to modulate and moderate. It's all or nothing. One bite of the cookie, and suddenly you're over a plane to Vegas with a hooker. To the Cranky Nitpickers of America—a club I'd join in a second if I weren't already its president—it's always been understood that the world is going to Hell in a handbasket."What better time for a assortment of seventeen comic essays?"What better time indeed.
