My
Breakfast with Blassie Starring:
"Classy" Freddie Blassie and Andy
Kauffman
The world of
wrestling took its toll on Andy Kaufman. His wife
was out of the picture, his first wrestling match
against a man (Kaufman made his career fighting
women) turned into a humiliating defeat, and his
career began slowly spiraling downward. When life
takes a turn for the worse, who do we all turn to
for guidance, support, and advice? Our friends,
of course. To bring some focus into his life,
Kaufman arranged a heart-to-heart power breakfast
with an old friend: former wrestling champion and
self-proclaimed "King of Men" Freddie
Blassie.
In the tradition
of My Dinner with Andre, My Breakfast
with Blassie is an intellectual dining tour
de force minus the pomposity and pretention. Real
men talking about guy things: wrestling, picking
up women, masculine hygiene, breakfast meats, and
the downfall of morality in the world today.
Kaufman's dining companion, Freddie Blassie, is
just the man to dish it out. Everything about him
radiates charm and class and with each topic
Blassie's unadulterated opinions just keep on
flowing. My Breakfast with Blassie is a
candid and rare peek into the minds of true
champions. Keep your eyes opened for the
"guest appearance" by Kaufman's friend
Bob Zmuda. --Rob Bracco (for Amazon.com)
