The legendary star of Monty Python fame takes fans on a deeply personal and hilarious whirlwind tour around America.
I still feel somewhat nervous encroaching on the Palin territory of writing a travel diary based on a journey ... thought it is true, I reason, that all the Pythons have been involved in documentaries. So this must be a Python thing. What is this urge to probe and examine by ex-comedians? Are they tired of dressing up as women? Surely not.
Eric Idle: the man who brought you the anthems 'Always look on the bright side of life' and 'Sit on my Face' and 'Tell me That You Love Me' shows his naughty bits - and much more! As he crossed the US on The Greedy Bastard Tour, Eric Idle kept a diary on the Monty Python website updating fans with his experiences, insights and observations. Inspired by those blogs, 'The Greedy Bastard Diary' is an honest, hysterical and moving book - part travelogue, part memoir - that chronicles those 80 days on the road, offering Idle's thoughts on his career, personal life and the country he now calls his home. Reflective, ironic, and stamped with his renowned wit, this illuminating work takes readers on a personal tour with the legendary star and offers an intimate, close-up look inside the man as never before.
