Author and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame radio personality Dick Summer shows how he avoids letting all the candles on his birthday cake set off the everyday sprinkler systems that can put out the fire in our lives. In his new book, Staying Happy, Healthy and Hot, Dick admits his “New Louie, Louie Generation folks don’t look like the people in the beer commercials anymore, with their fancy abs and perky breasts.” “But,” he says, “we have some surprises in store for the ‘Pimple People’ and the ‘Dreary Drones,’ who think we have any intention of letting ourselves turn into a bunch of lukewarm slabs of meat.” Staying Happy, Healthy and Hot: We’re the Brand-New Louie Louie Generation (published by iUniverse) is a collection of true short stories about Dick’s life that shows how staying happy helps keep you healthy. And when you’re healthy, you’re hot. He calls that the “attitude/gratitude connection.” To book an interview with Dick Summer, call Lauren Turton at The Media Message at LAT@TheMediaMessage.com or call 610-565-4330.
