MUM HAD A KINGSWOOD: TALES FROM THE LIFE AND MIND OF ROSSO.
When Rosso left his award-winning, ratings-smashing, hugely popular breakfast radio show at the end of 2009, we all wondered what he would do next. The answer? He wrote a book!
And the end result is a very funny book telling all sorts of tales. There are warm, fuzzy childhood stories growing up in suburban Melbourne with billycarts and milkbars, indoor sports , first driving experiences and the family moving to Fiji for 6 months; teenage stories of girls, fires in dad’s workshop, mandarin liqueur, and the awkward years of bad clothes and bad hair that were the 80s; student tales of share-house madness (and how to get rid of mice!), being in a pub rock band, mates, more cars and Uni coming off second best.
And then there’s the moment when his stand-up comedy career took off, and how it led to him entertaining the nation on TV and radio. Stories from the early days working with Merrick, the rock stars and celebrities he met (and sometimes offended!): being patted like a Labrador by John Travolta, fighting about the definition of ‘chick flick’ with Cameron Diaz; the enthusiastic Sylvester Stallone; pub crawling with Bryan Brown; swearing at a former Vice President of the United States; and THAT orange Mambo shirt worn by David Bowie . . .
In between all these great anecdotes of life there are classic rants and raves, random ideas and other ‘stuff’! A mind dump of information about technology, Nigerian loan scams, relationships, party games, reality TV show and movie sequel ideas, how to bring a bit of celebrity into your own life and understanding Gen Y.
