Non-Fiction Memoir
Pat O’Brien was a skinny South Dakota kid with long hair, a
rock and roll band, divorced parents and an alcoholic
father. In all the familiar ways, he was on the road to
nowhere until a professor, who envisioned his future as the
household name he would soon become, dramatically changed
his life.
From that day forward Pat’s life took turns that were both
spectacular and destructive: from the Huntley-Brinkley
Report and afternoons at Bobby Kennedy’s living room with
Muhammad Ali to conversations with six Presidents. He did
acid with Timothy Leary, drank with Mickey Mantle, and over
the course of a remarkable career up close and personal with
the Beatles, The Stones, The Kennedy’s, Magic Johnson,
Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and virtually every star in
Hollywood.
In I’LL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS, Pat reveals the highs and
lows of the life of a radio and TV broadcaster, spent
sharing the mic with the world’s rich and famous while
battling an infamous public scandal and demons that nearly
killed him. With laughter, tears and miracles he reveals how
he learned to accept his mistakes, find redemption and
become the father he never had, proving there really are
second and even third acts in life.
