I Have Fun Everywhere I Go
Mike Edison
Faber & Faber

I Have Fun Everywhere I Go is Mike Edison’s fast-paced journey along the fringes of journalism and the magazine publishing industry. It’s forbidden territory, and so much of his experience deals with: pornography, illegal drug use, professional wrestling, and sleazy rock and roll.

A shameless Ivy League dropout, Edison writes with a sharp and refreshing wit, willing to risk it all by telling it all. He’s been a producer for a horrible B movie; a band-aid on tours with the likes of The Ramones and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion; a spy at a religious cult meeting; a smoking buddy of Ozzy’s; and, of course, a writer.

This is the perfect book for someone wanting to live on the edge but afraid of doing so. It’s a seesaw ride in which one can’t decide if she’s more jealous of not having lived this life or thankful she hasn’t.
