American on Purpose CD: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot written and read by Craig Ferguson is a journey through addiction, punk rock, and early Scottish comedy clubs.

Craig takes us through his three marriages, various attempts at careers, and the birth of his son while bringing his unique comedic flavor to all. Some bits are a bit treacly, but that is to be expected in any autobiography that is, at least, a bit about redemption.

We learn about Craig’s time as a punk rock drummer. His living with enemy cats, and a character called “Bing Hitler.” He takes us through his childhood fascination with music and entertainment all the way to how he ended up on late night television.

There were many detours along the way. Some of those detours were darker than others. This is the story of a man who took his time finding out where he belonged – at least for now.

Through all of American on Purpose CD: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot, Craig unfailingly talks of his love for America (USA). His was a lifetime love affair that led him to New York and California.

I recommend this audiobook. There is nothing like listening to a Scot talking about his life – especially when said Scot is a great comedian.
