About this title

Synopsis

“FIVE STARS! A MUST READ IF YOU LIKE TO LAUGH OUT LOUD AT THE WRITTEN WORD. A final memoir told in real time with flashbacks to the author’s incredible nine lives among the movers and shakers of his fading era. Each chapter is a surprise.” ~Darryl Ripple, New Books Weekly.At age five Bob Basso (Babo) decided to pursue every one of his boyhood dreams. He did. Tree house dweller, author, historian, named “America’s #1 fun motivational speaker by People Magazine; Naval officer at Pearl Harbor; stage and screen actor, nominated for an Emmy; award – winning TV News anchor for NBC; created Laughter Therapy for the Fortune 500; headlined a Las Vegas Bicentennial extravaganza as Benjamin Franklin surrounded by 21 topless Yankee Doodle Girls and went viral on Youtube becoming an International superstar calling for a Second American Revolution. *** That was then. Now Babo is 81, a geezer facing his final adventure. He’s dying. Only a small bump in the road for a restless Gemini who sees everything as a scene in the human comedy. “If reality is all that there is then life becomes one long colonoscopy. Keep looking for the punch line. It’s the one real medicine that heals.” As always he’s going to do it his way, race the Grim Reaper to the finish line and exit laughing… and make history doing it.
