The First Review of Jon Leon's Hit Wave is in

and it's a good 'un

Here's a sample:

"Leon’s [Hit Wave] follows the career of a poet, pornographer, and provocateur as he conquers the literary world, indulges in every excess available, founds his own private pleasure palace, yet remains bored and unimpressed with everything. Perhaps it’s the bright yellow cover or his recent legal troubles and penchant for sex-filled advertising, but I found it helpful to picture American Apparel CEO Dov Charney as the speaker."

But you really should read the whole piece.

Hit Wave, Jon Leon

One of the greatest drugs ever manufactured is cocaine. I love the way it feels. End of story. When riding around in my Audi on the way to Vail Colorado I like to keep a vial of cocaine on the passenger seat next to my compact discs. One of the worst most mesmerizing bummers is when the coke is gone. That is when you're fucked and the world ends. At a time like that do not call anyone on the phone from a Super 8 Motel. Bring the joy into America. Love the market that is second only to diamonds.
