smortnerd 's review for:
I wish this both had more detail and less...detail.
There was a ton of name dropping. I'm familiar with a lot of major stars from the sixties and seventies, but there are also many that I had no idea who he was talking about. Sorry, those are my two least favorite decades. I didn't really care about the parties he went to, the trips he took, the ladies he banged...I get it, they were hedonistic times. Free love and all that. But I don't think many people are picking this up because they want to hear about all the famous people he knows. We want STORIES. So I wish he'd told more stories and spent less time name dropping (people and places).
That being said, I loved the tidbits of Pythons pulling gags, on randos and each other. Although they were sad, the sections about the funerals of Graham Chapman and George Harrison were touching in the way that only comedians can make them. Talking about the final Python shows was sad, but also - they're in their seventies. For kids like me that watched Monty Python on DVD (and VHS) with their parents, it's sometimes hard to remember that Python has been around for 50+ years. But when he says the final farewell - he means it.
There were several bits of wisdom to take away, and there are several projects of his that I was unaware of that I now feel compelled to go find. If you're a Monty Python/Eric Idle/General sixties and seventies fan....there's something in this for you.
