Thirty-Nine Years of Short-Term Memory Loss

Thirty-Nine Years of Short-term Memory Loss is a seriously funny and irreverent memoir that gives an insiderÕs view of the birth and rise of Saturday Night Live, and features laugh-out-loud stories about some of its greatest personalitiesÑAl Franken, Lorne Michaels, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Michael OÕDonoghue, and Chris Farley. Tom DavisÕs voice is rich with irony and understatement as he tells tales of discovery, triumph, and loss with relentless humor. His memoir describes not only his experiences on the set of SNL but also his suburban childhood, his high school escapades in the Ô60s, his discovery of sex, and how he reveled in the hippie cultureÑand psychoactive drugsÑfrom San Francisco to Kathmandu to Burning Man over the last four decades. Hysterical, lucid, and wise, Thirty-Nine Years of Short-term Memory Loss is an unforgettable romp in an era of sex, drugs, and comedy.
