Description
"Ryan Van Cleave's explosive riffs roll over the American pop culture landscape like a caffeined-up emcee from the dark side. Trying to keep up with his quick wit and dizzying leaps may leave you out of breath, but gasping with surprise and wonder, marveling at how-beneath the glitz-Van Cleave has found the sick, twisted soul of this country."
-Jim Daniels, author of Show and Tell
