What does the host of a long-running radio show do when he's not on the air? Quite a bit, actually. "Greatest Hits Vol. 1" is essentially the author's diary of the last eighteen years, told as a series of periodic "Big Life Updates" that were originally sent to friends and family. Taken together, the "Big Life Updates" form a unique and fascinating picture of personal growth, evolution, and maturity. As a bonus, the author provides a new, thoroughly detailed history of his weekly pop music radio show, "Crap From The Past, " plus an audiophile's guide to collecting pop music on compilation CDs. "Greatest Hits Vol. 1" is a captivating portrait of a life lived both on and off the radio dial.
