Fiction
His name is Tour --just Tour --and like many of the
musicians, athletes, and celebrities hes profiled, he has
affected the way that we think about culture in America. He
has profiled Eminem, 50 Cent, and Alicia Keys for the cover
of Rolling Stone. Hes played high-stakes poker with Jay-Z
and basketball with Prince and Wynton Marsalis. In Tours
world, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. sits beside Condoleezza Rice who
sits beside hip-hop pioneer Tupac Shakur, and all of them
are fascinating company. Never Drank the Kool-Aid is the
chronicle of Tours unparalleled journey through the American
funhouse called pop culture. Its rooms are filled with
creative, arrogant, kind, ordinary, and extraordinary
people, most of whom happen to be famous. It is Tours gift
to be able to see through the artifice of their world and
understand the genuine motivations behind their achievements
-- to see who they truly are as people. This is a searingly
funny, surprisingly unguarded, and deeply insightful look at
a world few of us comprehend.
