“This collection of pieces by Mike Sager is just brilliant-- brave, written with soul and beauty, and unflinching in the depiction of a real America that needs to be revealed. Bravo to Sager for being one of the few writers left willing to do it." --Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights Celebrating my 2010 ASME Award for Profile Writing.

The Vince Neil Story. To Hell and Back with One of Rock's Most Notorious Frontmen. "Tattoos & Tequila the book (there’s an album of the same name) is compelling, not only because it contains many disgustingly fascinating details of how teenage boys behave when they become rock stars, but also because of its subject’s willingness to appear, well, the way he is."-- New York Magazine A New York Times Bestseller “A revealing tell all…a riveting read” --The Today Show “A chronicle of a lifetime spent in the bung hole of unbridled self-indulgence. It might be hot and tight in there, but the smell is not so good sometimes.” |

Revenge of the Donut Boys |

“Like his journalistic precursors Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson, Sager writes frenetic, off-kilter pop-sociological profiles of Americans in all their vulgarity and vitality. He writes with flair, but only in the service of an omnivorous curiosity. He defies expectations in pieces that lesser writers would play for satire or sensationalism… a Whitmanesque ode to teeming humanity’s mystical unity.” --The New York Times Book Review |

"I can recognize the truth in these Sager stories-- demoralizing tales about the darkest possible side of wretched humanity." --Hunter S. Thompson, author, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas |
