Enjoyable trip down memory lane, and a reminder of mortality.

What a surprisingly beautiful book. I have been a fan of the Doug Anthony Allstars since I was in my teens and they were fresh faced young men purveying filth and beautiful harmonies. And have always loved Flacco too, so there was no doubt that I would be reading this one ASAP.
Paul Livingston tells the story of their meteoric rise to fame (and his, riding along on their comet tail) and their influence on comedy in this well written book. But it is also a record of great affection for DAAS - from their fans, from those in their industry who learned so much from them, from Paul himself, but most poignantly, for each other.
Reading this has made me all the more determined to see them live at least one more time.
