*Disclaimer: I’m cohosting an event with Elvis Duran on his book tour. It will be recorded for the Professional Book Nerds podcast.*
Fans of Elvis Duran will recognize a fair amount of the story but the major take away from this memoir is what, I feel, has made Elvis a go to person for celebrities in the music business. He’s wildly passionate about radio but he has that same passion for the conversations he has with artists.
It’s clear that he views these people not as something to be discussed and scandalized but as human beings. Being a celebrity comes with fame and fortune but it also comes with endless poking and prodding. Artists are treated like products to be used up and then traded in for the next. Elvis shows compassion in his interviews and this book only confirms that this is not an act.
Yes, you’ll read about wild, tequila-soaked nights but you’ll also discover how excited Elvis is to create shared moments with these people as human beings. If you love Elvis Duran you’ll love this book but even if you’ve never listened to a second of his show, you’ll get a deep appreciation for musicians, the history of radio, and the fact that you can be a compassionate person and still make it big.
