Dirk Benedict’s Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy lives again
The Internet is a wonderful thing. In the UK, Dirk Benedict - better known as Faceman from the A-Team and Starbuck in the 1970s version of Battlestar Galactica - turns up on a major reality TV show called Celebrity Big Brother. Along with other celebrities looking for another 15 minutes in the limelight, he is filmed 24 hours a day and Britain is obsessed with the show.
Now, Dirk wrote a book back in 1987 called Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy about how he was diagnosed with cancer but cured himself by adopting a macrobiotic diet. This book has been gathering dust in secondhand bookstores around North America for the past 20 years…. until he mentioned the book on Big Brother and people in the UK flocked to the Internet to try and find copies.
Last week, the book was No.3 on AbeBooks.co.uk’s bestseller list with Brits picking up copies from booksellers in North America.

WELL GET SOME COPIES IN, THEN! I’m still waiting for mine. “And Then We Went Fishing” is a brilliant book. Obtain some and I will buy one from you - even though I’ve already downloaded from eBooks!
