i have a signed photo of Dubcek over my desk and he plays a very key role in The White Pill, so I was nervous about reading his autobiography and finding out he sucked
boy was i wrong. he really lays out what he was going for with the Prague Spring, and all the machinations of the Soviets against him. Most revelatory is how they harassed him and his wife for decades, including punishing anyone who was seen being kind to them.
Great man, great book, well written.
I listen to the Adam Carolla Show every day, gotta love the Aceman. Last week when announcing his dates, he said he'd be at Uncle Vinnie's Comedy Club in NJ. Shit, that's only half an hour from my house. When I looked it up, turns out he'd be playing at one of their satellite locations only 6 miles from his house! He did two shows, first a live podcast taping with Joe Devito and Joe Piscapo (who looked horrible, to be honest). Second show was stand-up with Rudy Pavich and Jim Florentine opening. Great evening, tons of laughs!
