Confessions of a happy man

the long version

This is the autobiography of early radio and television pioneer Art Linkletter. His era was before my time, but I like reading about the entertainment of the period. Before reading the book I was no fan of Linkletter. His "Kids say the darndest things" stuff makes me gag. After reading his memoir I have a new understanding of his importance to the business. I consider myself of student of useless minutiae, but I had never heard of his indictment for faking US citizenship. Interesting. Note: this book was written before his daughter's death and includes nothing related to drugs.
