Now, the bestselling author of IF I EVER GET BACK TO GEORGIA, I'M GONNA NAIL MY FEET TO THE GROUND, presents another collection of his irreverent, hilarious, and biting columns on topics that begged for the full Grizzardian grilling. Grizzard's millions of steadfast fans will be tickled pink (even red) by the outrageous verbal lashings he administers to our most revered cultural traditions, taboos, and rock stars.
