About this product
Product Information
"Steve Palec is one of the most interesting and remarkable people who I have met in my long career." Allan H. (Bud) Selig, Commissioner Emeritus, MLB For 45 years, Steve Palec's baritone has spilled out from the FM speakers playing the music that has been the soundtrack of a generation . . . and of his life. Raised by a British mother who lived through the Blitzkrieg and a Lithuanian father who escaped two concentration camps and survived a third, Palec is a first-generation American who represents everything great about America's rebel generation. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Steve is today a centerpiece of that great city working in commercial real estate, serving in philanthropic and community roles, and often appearing with a smile, a joke, and a bourbon in the stands of Brewers, Bucks, and Packer games. The dad of two, stepdad of three, husband, and radio personality is bringing us a behind-the-scenes look at his behind-the-mic life. HIS LIFE READS LIKE THE LYRICS OF AN AMERICAN SONG. Steve Palec's memoir is peppered with the great songs that will bring back memories for everyone paging through his story, but his life is about more than music. From a childhood that evokes Norman Rockwell paintings, though hanging a bit "off-kilter," to a star-studded life in media, Steve is the guy everyone relates to and wants to be! Join him on a journey that begins in a speech classroom and takes you into interviews with greats including Ringo Starr, Les Paul, Don McLean, and Alice Cooper. Walk with him on the diamond at Miller Park and the grounds of Lambeau Field. Follow his ups and downs through parenthood, divorces, career juggling, and 96.5 WKLH's Rock & Roll Roots radio show, a staple of Milwaukee radio. Through it all, you may learn to see the world a bit "off-kilter," too. "At heart, I am just a regular guy who happens to see awe in almost everything." Steve Palec

Reviews
"I don't think Milwaukee knows the national treasure we have in Steve Palec. The capital of Wisconsin isn't Madison; it's Steve Palec. He's a friend--a brother--to anyone who needs one. The guy is just amazing! It's hard to put into words who Steve is and that's why I'm as excited as anyone to read his story. I hope you are, too." -LeRoy Butler #36, Green Bay Packers (Retired) "Steve Palec is one of the most interesting and remarkable people who I have met in my long career and I congratulate him on his extraordinary accomplishments." -Allan H (Bud) Selig, Commissioner Emeritus, MLB "Steve is a great guy! He has been able to maintain his love for music along with a successful business career for many years. That is not easy, but speaks to his passion. He is thoughtful, too. I still have that Stevie Wonder aircheck he made for me many, many years ago." -Greg Marcus, President and CEO, Marcus Corporation "Steve is so Milwaukee in all the good ways that Milwaukee and the Midwest are. Midwesterners are nice people and genuine and that fits Steve perfectly. He's authentic." - Jessob Reisbeck, Anchor, WJLA TV ABC "The real entrepreneurs of the music industry moved to movies. The people who took over were into the spotlight and the money, but not the music. It was like a cancer. The fever and meat weren't there anymore. Steve Palec rejuvenates the realness of what it once was. The meaning of it all comes back through his show. It brings me back to the reality of what the artistry was. He breathes new life into it-life after death." -Reed Kailing, Musician and Actor "When I think about Steve's next chapter, I think, 'Who the heck knows!' There are so many possibilities. He's a perfect example of who, when I think about him, I say, 'I don't know what's next, but it's gonna be good.' He's Milwaukee through and through. He's proud of and excited about our city. He knows everybody everywhere. He's a hometown guy (who travels to Kentucky for the best bourbon)." -Nicole Koglin, Fox 6 News "Steve fits in this city. A city of this size couldn't hold Steve's interest for so long if it was not also open to change, growth, and great sports. The city is good for Steve and he's good for the city. He's world-class entertainment-an eclectic person with wide-ranging tastes. You can take him at face value. He is who he is and I don't think that will ever change." -Scott Paulus, Director of Photography, Milwaukee Brewers "Steve Palec is my dear friend; he's a true foodie, a sports enthusiast, and definitely quirky. His eyes see the world through a unique lens. He's lived a colorful life and has worked hard for what he has. I think he's hit a point in his life where he is able to reflect, be grateful, and embrace and enjoy every day and everything about every day when the alarm clock wakes him for the world. He's there for the ride; he's there to enjoy it. And now we can, too, in his story!" -Kathleen O'Leary, CEO, Wisconsin State Fair Park "Everybody in town knows Steve Palec, but they don't really know him. I imagine that's what happens to most luminaries with a vehicle. They know that persona, personality, and voice (literal and figurative). He goes so deep on everything he does. You can't not be impressed with him." -Jay Filter, Photographer and Creative Director

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
