Mike Myers first met uber-manager Shep Gordon while preparing for the scene in Wayne's World in which he kneels before Alice Cooper and declares "We are not worthy!" Myers clearly feels the same way about Gordon, whom he dubs "one of the nicest human beings I have ever met". Unsurprisingly, this consistently entertaining hagiography contains little that is critical, as our subject cuts a "Yeah, baby!" swath through shagadelic rock'n'roll times (the title accurately implies a cross between Ron Burgundy and Austin Powers) before succumbing to Buddhism and cookery, inventing en route the latterday "celebrity chef".

The less palatable edges of Gordon's past are largely glossed over (his "No head, No Backstage Pass" T-shirt is treated in "Oh behave!" fashion) in favour of more sympathetic accounts of his desire to be a family man, but he's splendidly charismatic company, as his A-list roster attests en masse.
