“Listeners are treated to stories about his childhood in East LA, dodging the Vietnam draft in Canada, his working relationship and success with Tommy Chong, his successful solo career, and beyond…He certainly infuses his narration with humor, when appropriate but never uses it to distract from the story he is telling. Listeners who only know Marin from Cheech and Chong should prepare to be impressed by his multifaceted and accomplished life.”
Booklist (audio review)
Get a look into the mind of Cheech Marin–one half of the renowned Cheech and Chong comedic duo–and follow through the highs and lows of his personal and professional lives.
An unborn baby with a fatal heart defect . . . a skier submerged for an hour in a frozen Norwegian lake . . . a comatose brain surgery patient whom doctors have declared a "vegetable."
The long-awaited memoir from a counterculture legend. Cheech Marin came of age at an interesting time in America and became a self-made counterculture legend with his other half, Tommy Chong. This insightful memoir delves into how Cheech dodged the draft, formed one of the most successful comedy duos of all time, became the face of the recreational drug movement with the film Up in Smoke, forged a successful solo career with roles in The Lion King and, more recently, Jane the Virgin, and became the owner of the most renowned collection of Chicano art in the world. Written in Cheech's uniquely hilarious voice, this memoir will take you to new highs.
