Best known as "The Loop" and the Rock Station of Chicago for 40+ years. Wlup.com 97.9 The Loop, WLUP-FM, Chicago's Rock Station! Mancow Muller is the host of Mancow's Morning Madhouse, a morning drive-time radio show syndicated nationally from Chicago's WKQX (Q101 FM) (formerly on WLUP - The Loop). He has been an on-air host for fifteen years and has written for Playboy and Gear magazines, among others. He lives in Chicago, Illinois. Mancow Muller Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf: My Trip Down Freedom Road! So says Mancow Muller, the creator, writer, and ringmaster of Mancow's Morning Madhouse, which has been called the "funniest, fastest-moving, and most diverse show in radio history." In this book -- his first humble masterpiece -- Mancow rushes headlong through Europe, America, and even Cuba in a travel adventure that cross-dresses as a memoir. When Mancow loses his dad -- his number one fan -- to cancer, he has a meltdown that takes him spiraling down Freedom Road. Thrust on a nonstop international death ride that pulls him through his past, he races the autobahn at breakneck speeds, inhales Amsterdam's pleasures, narrowly escapes an illegal visit to Castro's Cuba, suffers a near-fatal nervous breakdown, and cavorts under dog piles of women. Along the way, Mancow questions everything: "Do we already live in a police state?" "Must individual spirit be crushed?" "What does it mean to be a member of The Dead Dad's Club?" "Do you want to get laid?" A combination of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Don Quixote (but with more sex), Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf takes you on a journey that will kindle your independent spirit and knock you to the floor with laughter. Muller's first book is part memoir and part three-ring circus, a mirror of his Chicago-based syndicated radio show, "Mancow's Morning Madhouse." With its rapid-fire, hyperventilating prose, it resembles a transcript of the motor mouth that made him famous rather than a coherent narrative, as Muller regales his readers with stories of prostitutes, stunts that go bad, pigeons blowing up and, incongruously, touching memories of his beloved late father. A lot of time gets spent on puerile, even offensive stuff-Muller brags of sleeping around ("If I put notches on my rifle for every woman I've been with I wouldn't have a gun anymore") charging people money to look at his bowel movements, the benefits of fame ("success draws women like car grilles attract deer") and his apparently rare ability to "pee in two streams." In a section on traveling in Germany, he writes, "As we eat our Big Mac breakfasts, I watch Berliners dipping fries in mayonnaise. Huh? Anyone who likes that swallows." But despite Muller's crudeness, his stories can sometimes be affecting, showing some of the compassion that helped him become popular. During one of his shows, a paramedic calls in about to commit suicide, and Muller recounts how he tried to comfort him while a colleague called the police. When police find him "hanging from his belt in the paramedic van," Muller wonders, "Did I let this man die? God forgive me. Anonymous voices on the radio, the last place he could reach for help." Fans of the radio show will enjoy this peek into Muller's travels, his sexcapades, his shows and his radio life, and will be as startled as if they were listening to him live; other readers beware.
