Some of it is writing, some of it is drawing, and some of it is radio jargon. There are interviews, photos, oral histories, daily memos, calendars –- but the totality is the brilliance of Ron Jacobs. It is a rare documentary history that takes you inside his mind as he transforms KHJ into the preeminent rock and roll station in the universe. He comes at you nonstop, one idea after another, relentless, always thinking, churning out ideas, and challenging the norm. From start to finish, the book threatens to engulf you but always amazes you, just like RJ. -- David Maraniss, Washington, DC, May 2010
