maiakobabe 's review for:
I was tickled and entertained by this fast-paced account of Eric Idle's life, mainly focusing on his creative projects both solo and with Monty Python, as well as some key creative friendships he cultivated over the years. Idle was very close with George Harrison, David Bowie, and Robin Williams among others and each of those friendships gets explored in its own chapter. If you are interested in the interconnected development of British and American comedy in the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties this is a very fun account, and just manages to stay on this side of annoying in regards to name dropping and the fabulous party life styles of the 1%. Idle is a very good writer, and this book is full of jokes, anecdotes, and moments of genuine reflection.
