Product Information

For fourteen years, critic Joe Queenan walked past the Winter Garden Theater in New York City without once even dreaming of venturing inside to see Cats . One fateful afternoon in March 1996, however, having grown weary of his hopelessly elitist lifestyle, he decided to buy a half-price ticket and check out Andrew Lloyd Webber's record-breaking juggernaut. No, he did not expect the musical to be any good, but surely there were limits to how bad it could be. Here, Queenan was tragically mistaken. Cats , what Grease would look like if all the cast members were dressed up like KISS, was infinitely more idiotic than he had ever imagined. Yet now the Rubicon had been crossed. Queenan had involuntarily launched himself on a harrowing personal oddyssey: an 18-month descent into the abyss of American popular culture. At first, Queenan found things to be every bit as atrocious as he expected. John Tesh defiling the temple of Carnegie Hall reminded him of Adolf Hitler goose-stepping in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. The Celestine Prophecy and The Horse Whisperer proved to be prodigiously cretinous. And the sight of senior citizens forking over their hard-earned nickels and dimes to watch Joe Pesci in Gone Fishin' so moved Queenan that he began standing outside the theater issuing refunds to exiting patrons. But then something strange happened. Queenan started enjoying Barry Manilow concerts. He went to see Julie Andrews and Liza Minnelli and Raquel Welch in Victor/Victoria . He said nice things about Larry King and Charles Grodin in his weekly TV Guide column. He spent hours planted in front of the television, transfixed by special, two-hour episodes of Walker: Texas Ranger . He actually ordered the dreaded zuppa toscana at the Olive Garden. Most frightening of all, he shook hands with Geraldo Rivera. How Queenan finally escaped from the cultural Hot Zone and returned to civilization is an epic tale as heart-warming, awe-inspiring, and life-affirming as Robinson Crusoe , The Adventures of Marco Polo , Gulliver's Travels , and Swiss Family Robinson . Well, almost.

  • Boring and pointless, don't waste your time and money on it.

    I gave up half way through this, because I found it endlessly tiresome. The guy, a pretentious snob, goes on a mission to "slum it" with any thing he considers "what the white trash like". He wanders through restaurants, listens to artists, goes to plays and movies, watches TV, and blathers on and on and on about how he slowly gets addicted to all the things he once despised. By the middle of the book you realize you frankly don't care what this snotty guy thought of things that were popular 20 years ago, and it doesn't matter how the book ends because he is a tiresome, boring character whose 15 minutes of fame are long gone, if they ever existed in the first place.. First book I have ever just thrown in the trash halfway through it because I realize I wouldn't even recommend it to ...

  • WICKEDLY FUNNY! A Hilarious Cynical View of Pop Culture

    Joe Queenan's book Red Lobster, White Trash, and the Blue Lagoon (1998) is outrageously funny. It contains with a vast array of indictments of the American cultural wasteland. He sets out on a quest to experience all that is wrong with popular culture and leaves mutilated corpses in every paragraph. Queenan's keen-eyed humor riffs will speak to everyone living in real-world America who is fed up with its commercialism, although his ceaseless poking at the flaws of pop culture do become a bit overwrought at times Queenan presents the underbelly of pop culture from restaurants, to books, to movies, to Broadway plays, to actors, to music in a very acerbic style. His cynical humor is not for everyone. But if you are the type of individual who occasionally turns a jaundiced eye toward ...
