Description
Red-state, White-guy Blues is Jeff Messer’s scathing indictment of the political scene in western North Carolina and the state government in Raleigh.
The book reflects and builds upon his experience as host of The Jeff Messer Show on 880 The Revolution AM radio on iHeart Media. With a skeptical–but never cynical–eye on the leading lights of the right (wing) and their jihad against the environment, infrastructure, laws, and citizens of “The Old North State,” Messer stands up and speaks out on behalf of the 99 percent of Tarheels who can’t compete with Art Pope‘s deep pockets and Pat McCrory’s attitude of devil take the hindmost.
A native of Waynesville—which he describes as “30 miles west and about 10 years back from Asheville”—Jeff is the xenophobic right wing’s worst nightmare: a homegrown, hometown southern liberal with a keen mind and honest tongue who knows just how much the truth can hurt.
Actor, comedian, and political commentator John Fugelsang writes: “Where other political tomes get mired in data overload or preachiness, Jeff Messer’s hugely entertaining style mixes politics with humor, the personal with the political, and manages to be as inspiring as it is fun. This is a book with heart, mind, and guts.”
Bill Press, host of the nationally syndicated The Bill Press Show, says, “No wonder Jeff Messer’s reputation has spread far beyond North Carolina. He’s one of the best informed and most colorful talk show hosts in the country. Read this book and you will laugh until you cry and start uttering “Messerisms” in your sleep.
Red-state, White-guy Blues is the ideal Christmas or holiday gift for anyone engaged or interested in, or affected by, what’s going on in Raleigh–and that’s all of us.
