About this listen

Get a look into the mind of Cheech Marin–one half of the renowned Cheech and Chong comedic duo–and follow through the highs and lows of his personal and professional lives.

An unborn baby with a fatal heart defect . . . a skier submerged for an hour in a frozen Norwegian lake . . . a comatose brain surgery patient whom doctors have declared a "vegetable."

The long-awaited memoir from a counterculture legend. Cheech Marin came of age at an interesting time in America and became a self-made counterculture legend with his other half, Tommy Chong. This insightful memoir delves into how Cheech dodged the draft, formed one of the most successful comedy duos of all time, became the face of the recreational drug movement with the film Up in Smoke, forged a successful solo career with roles in The Lion King and, more recently, Jane the Virgin, and became the owner of the most renowned collection of Chicano art in the world. Written in Cheech's uniquely hilarious voice, this memoir will take you to new highs.

Very enjoyable listen from Mr. Richard "Cheech" Marin..This review comes from Vancouver, Canada and it was interesting to hear of Cheech's early days in my city. His multilayered career is an inspirational to any aspiring artist. Plus, let's face it, it's a tough world and it's definitely a bonus to have a good family and a great sense of humor. Thanks Mr. Marin.

Richard is deep - Cheech is hilarious!
