Here is some of what people have said accross the nation on Johnny Holliday and his book.
Cokie Roberts (ABC News, NPR) says "It's an exuberant account that will make
you smile and then laugh out loud. What a life!"
Ben Fong-Torres, Author, "The Hits Just Keep On Coming. (Backbeat Books)
says You think Johnny Holliday is a great sportscaster? You should've seen
him on the court, as a blazing point guard on various radio station
basketball teams. And you should've heard Johnny as a rapid-fire DJ, spinning
stacks of hot wax at topflight Top 40 stations, from San Francisco to New
York City. Stephen Moore slows him down just enough to tell you Johnny's
amazing story."
Sportswriter John Feinstein has characterized Holliday's professional resume
as slightly longer than War and Peace. From his early days in Miami, to
his solid successes in Rochester, Cleveland, New York, San Francisco, and
Washington, DC, Holliday retraces the steps that made him one of the best
play-by-play announcers in the nation.
Written with Helen Hayes biographer, Stephen Moore, Johnny's autobiography
is a book overflowing with one-of-a-kind memories and extraordinary stories
from 45 years of early rock radio and sportscasting adventures. His story
touches an alphabet of major sports and music celebrities from Hank Aaron,
Rick Barry, the Beatles, Joe DiMaggio, Ralph Friedgen, and Paul Hornung to
Janis Joplin, Murray the K, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roger Miller, and both Ted and
Gary Williams. "From Rock to Jock" is even more compelling as Holliday begins
his 24th year as "Voice of the Terps."
