They Call Me Supermensch: A Backstage Pass to the Amazing Worlds of Film, Food, and Rock 'n' Roll
In the course of his storied career as a manager, agent, and producer, Shep Gordon has worked with—and befriended—some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, from Alice Cooper to Bette Davis, Raquel Welch to Groucho Marx, Blondie to Jimi Hendrix, Sylvester Stallone to Salvador Dalí, Luther Vandross to Teddy Pendergrass. He is also credited with inventing the “celebrity chef,” and has worked with Nobu Matsuhisa, Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Roger Vergé, and many others.
In this wonderfully engaging memoir, the captivating entertainment legend recalls his life, from his humble beginnings as a shy, unambitious kid growing up on Long Island to his unexpected rise as one of the most influential and respected personalities in show business, revered for his kindness, charisma—and fondness for a good time.
Gordon shares riotous anecdotes and outrageous accounts of his freewheeling, globe-trotting experiences with some of the biggest celebrities of the past five decades, including his first meeting with Janis Joplin in 1968, when the raspy singer punched him in the face. Told with incomparable humor and heart, They Call Me Supermensch is a sincere, hilarious, behind-the-scenes look at the worlds of music and entertainment from a consummate Hollywood insider.

Keeping this one on my shelf as a reminder- you too can become a super-connected, wealthy beyond your means, Hollywood power agent if you trust in others and always honor the coupon system

In 1968, wiry-haired twenty-seven-year-old Shep Gordon, a Jewish kid from Long Island, arrived at a fleabag motel in Hollywood with a few bucks, his only ambition to sell pot and LSD. There he met Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Jimi Hendrix, who told Gordon he needed a legit cover if he was going to sling drugs, and introduced him to a young band in need of a manager: Alice Cooper.
They Call Me Supermensch is the entertaining true story of how “Little Shep from Oceanside” came to be one of the biggest behind-the-scenes names in Hollywood, managing the careers of Alice Cooper, Luther Vandross, Raquel Welch, Teddy Pendergrass, the Gypsy Kings, and Emeril Lagasse, among others. The memoir, written in a soft-hearted, self-effacing style, tells story after story of Gordon’s dealings with celebrities who’ve made history, often to reveal that the mastermind behind their most defining moments was Shep himself. The chicken that Alice Cooper supposedly killed onstage, cementing his shock-rocker persona? That was Shep’s doing. The celebrity chef phenomenon? Also Shep. Along the way are run-ins with the Groucho Marx, Salvador Dalí, and the Dalai Lama.
The book, published on Anthony Bourdain’s new imprint, is a close companion to Mike Myers’s 2014 documentary, Supermensch. And while the memoir reveals more of the author’s thoughts and context, Gordon’s winsome persona is at times undercut by boastfulness and his own admitted difficulty with emotional engagement—but hey, it’s his memoir, he did do all those things, and damned if he isn’t a true mensch.

An entertaining and fun read. Highly recommended for those who love to hear the juicy behind the scenes stories about the rich and famous.

I’ve never heard of Shep Gordon, but was a big Alice Cooper fan as a kid (in fact the first album by a single artist I ever bought was “Killer” … mainly because it had a picture of a snake on the cover). It turned out to be a good record and Alice Cooper remained one of my favorite bands until he lost me somewhere around “Welcome to My Nightmare”. Despite the fact that I’ve long since moved on musically, I still have a soft spot for Alice and his showmanship to this day.
With that as a background I decided to read They Call Me Supermensch: A Backstage Pass to the Amazing Worlds of Film, Food, and Rock’n’Roll. The book covers Gordon’s life from his early years growing up in Queens to his successful career as Alice Cooper’s manager and beyond.
There are some pretty good stories, particularly his outrageous publicity stunts which served to shock and anger the public in such a way as to create publicity for Alice, but I mostly lost interest after the book moves on from Cooper and he recounts stories of the famous people he’s met, the luxurious places he’s stayed, the fancy restaurants he’s eaten at and the women he’s slept with. Although a few interesting tidbits are scattered throughout, the book basically devolves into a PG-rated version of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

breezy, readable, gossipy story of his life as a manager of stars of music, film, and celebrity chefdom, starting with Alice Cooper.
He dates Sharon Stone, met Groucho Marx through Alice Cooper, helped Teddy Pendergrass make his comeback after accident, gets treated to dinner by Salvador Dali [who pays not with money but by signing his napkin], has a brick wall built at the concert venue each night to keep Luther Vandross from having to see or hear Anita Baker when they were touring together, and so on and so on.
Comes across as a funny, generous guy with lots of stories to tell, and when you hit some that are boring (to me, the ins and outs of staging events, and particularly the helping chefs become famous) you can just skim ahead without causing much trouble in following the plot.

This man has an inspiring story drenched in Rock 'n' Roll connections. A Long Island native and a serial entrepreneur with a passion for food and service. Shep has shaped Rock and Roll culture, food culture and entertainment business. "Food isn’t just food, after all. Food is culture, food is art, food is recreation, food is a trophy in your house, food is a way to have a social life. Music is a luxury. Food is the core of life. It’s more than something you shove in your mouth three times a day. I think that’s something Americans had forgotten."

The guy has led an interesting life and he did reimagine the rock concert experience. It just wasn't all that introspective. I watched the documentary after reading the book and learned absolutely nothing new. It sounds like he is a nice guy, good and fair to do business with, probably has trouble maintaining relationships with women because his mother wasn't the kindest, and he has a lot of famous friends without him being particularly famous. He must be very generous, but I didn't find him all that interesting.

An incredible life where chance encounters and a bold personality combine to make history. Shep Gordon is the most famous person you have never heard of unless you are a celebrity yourself.

Very interesting read on the backstage business and antics that go on in the entertainment industry. I liked his management style of the coupon and this is a guy that can say he built his fame and fortune on hard work and did it uniquely.

I first heard of Shep Gordon when he was a guest on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal podcast. He told interesting stories and I wanted to read his book, but I took the lazy route and watched the documentary. He came off as a loving, giving and interesting person so I decided to read the book. Turns out, that is the correct order; the movie came out first.
Shep started out in the late 60s managing Alice Cooper and hanging around with lots of famous names of that time. His creativity in creating publicity for his clients is incredible. The things I learned from this book gave me topics to bring up with my dad who loves music of the 70s. He had the album with the paper panties.
His beliefs and practices are admirable. His word is his bond. If he says he is going to do something, he is going to do it. He takes care of people, by feeding them or providing shelter for them in a time of need or financially. He follows his passions and admires people who do what they love.

Mr. Gordon is an entertainment manager who got his start handling Alice Cooper, and is also known for representing famous chefs. In this auto-biography, he emphasizes his notion of treating people well, striving for win-win deals, and paying back kindness.
The book is very engaging and it was great fun to read. But I have one complaint, something that nagged at me about this book until I finally figured out exactly what it is.
Mr. Gordon, a lifelong cannabis user, talks quite nonchalantly about his pot (and other drug) use in his book. The thing is, in many parts of the US, including Hawaii where Mr. Gordon lives, its (non-medical) use is illegal.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not opposed to cannabis. I just find it very upsetting that wealthy or famous folks like Mr. Gordon can flaunt their use of cannabis when literally millions of Americans are arrested for the same thing. For example, according to the ACLU, "Despite roughly equal usage rates, Blacks are 3.73 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana." [www.aclu.org/gallery/marijuana-arrest...]
It seems as though a privileged class of elites, like Mr. Gordon, Snoop Dogg, Willy Nelson, and the like, can be quite public about their use of cannabis and flat out ignore the laws, but millions of normal folks who use cannabis risk incarceration and even, if they're caught with too much on them, felony prosecution.
This imbalance seems unfair. Whichever way the public pushes on legislation, I'd just like to see fairness and equity in the enforcement of the law. So, if you're anti -cannabis, then insist on equal prosecution of Hollywood types. And if you're pro -cannabis, then fight against the current laws that lead to so many arrests: 8.2 million according to the ACLU, between 2000 and 2010, which were 52% of all drug arrests, and of which 88% were for simple possession. [www.aclu.org/gallery/marijuana-arrest...]
If Mr. Gordon wrote about all the sit ins or protests or lobbying efforts he'd organized to correct this imbalance, I'd be a whole lot more impressed by him. Reading about him smoking a joint in his hot tub to help him come to inventive new ideas wasn't all that sympathetic.
Is this a big deal? According to 2013 FBI data (the most recent I could find), in Texas alone, 70,000 people were arrested for marijuana possession. As Texas State Representative Joe Moody says [http://krwg.org/post/97-texas-marijua...], these arrests can destroy young peoples' futures: "... if you had a financial aid grants those could be off the table for you, federal student aid is definitely off the table, getting a job is going to be extremely difficult because those criminal background checks are going to show up... Renting an apartment. Anything a young person is needing to be doing to kind of get on their feet to get their life going, all those things can be derailed by a minor conviction.”
My personal over-reaction -- I admit it -- to this political topic affected my view of what was otherwise a very good book, one which I do recommend.

There were moments that I wondered if Mr. Gordon was name-dropping, but when a person lives in the world of celebrity for decades, it would be difficult to write a memoir without doing so. It is, quite simply, his life. The book circles back, again and again, to gratitude. It's a wonderful thing to encounter from someone who has moved in these circles. And, as a result of this, Mr. Gordon and his longest-term client are now the list of Famous People I'd Like to Invite to a Cookout.

If I feel the need to roll my eyes once during a book, it automatically loses a star. The fun stories in this book, and Shep's ability to tell a good story, kept this book at 4 stars. The one time I rolled my eyes was when he claimed to have been the one with the idea to make chefs into celebrities. He seems to have forgotten Julia Child who became a celebrity by appearing on television, writing books, and being seen with other celebrities...all the formula that Shep claims to have invented. His story starts in 1968. Ms. Child had already been on television for 5 years. BUT, other than that, the book is enjoyable.

#8 of 120 books pledged to read during 2019.
I had seen the documentary on Shep Gordon which Mike Myers out together a couple of years ago, and was already familiar with him because of the 50 years he has managed Alice Cooper, in large part thanks to Bob Greene's excellent book "Billion Dollar Baby" published in 1974 which I've had for many years. Gordon branched out and started managing actors and was largely responsible for popularizing the idea of "celebrity chefs", starting with Emeril Lagasse, among others. Great read.

Some biogs are page-turners; they read like a novel that you can't put down (to witness: Don Simpson's, Keith Richards', Hugh Masekela's, Neil French's, Steve Jobs' -who, incidentally, makes a serendipitous appearance in Mr. Gordon's honeymoon). This is one of those books.
Mr. Gordon's narrative is relaxed and unpretentious. You feel like you're having a conversation with a self-effacing, fun guy in his kitchen who lights up a joint and prepares a meal for you while you're waiting for the other guests to arrive. Of course, it all takes a different perspective when you start thinking that this guy has also cooked for the Dalai Lama and the other guests may include Michael Douglas, Willie Nelson, Sylvester Stallone, Raquel Welch or a couple of 3-star Michelin chefs.
Most striking of all is Mr. Gordon's compassion and his level-headedness. I loved this book and think I would love the guy if I ever met him. Tough to not like someone they call Supermensch.
Three-and-a-half stars. Almost four.

As I found myself telling my wife stories of celebrity encounters, marketing genius, and the creation of fame for so many from the book, by Shep, she called it "Celebrity gossip for men," and that sounds about right. Although most pieces of the book are covered extremely briefly, Shep does an incredible job of telling his life story through his unique perspective, making you wish that you could spend some time asking probing questions about nearly every one. From hanging with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix to finding joy in service through cooking for the Dalai Lama, Shep's life has been an unbelievable adventure, painting a landscape of Hollywood history that is non-stop engaging and will leave the reader more appreciative for the opportunity of life. I loved this book and couldn't imagine anyone else feeling differently.

Loved it
Such a wonderful and insightful read. I'm so happy to have come across this book on amazon, because God knows how long it would've taken me to learn about this amazing guy Shep Gordon on my own and his huge impact on so many things that we now consider a given.
I started this one after reading the Slash's autobiography and, oh my, both are just great and, in my opinion, complement each other really well. Both give some great insight on the workings of the U.S. rock music industry in the 70s and 80s and the life in LA in general. It's quite odd that they've never crossed paths, at least they never mention it directly in the books, would've been cool though!

I hiiiiighly recommend this book. Shep Gordon delves into the incredible moments that have made his career and life that were featured in quick succession in Mike Myers's documentary about him ("Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon") with greater depth, and his signature humility. Anyone who aspires to be of any kind of service in this world would be hard pressed to keep from being inspired and in awe of Gordon and all he has accomplished, and the tales he has to tell are sure to make your jaw drop and your head shake in wonder.

FIRST LINE REVIEW: "One night in 1968 I was driving in Los Angeles, looking for a place to stay, after just quitting the job that had brought me from New York to California." And the journey that will bring him from unemployed loafer to creator of celebrities begins. What a great journey it is, too! Inspiring, educational and just plain fun! This is the guy who helped create Alice Cooper, who helped Groucho live his last year's happily, who relaunched Raquel Welch and who created what we now know as the "celebrity chef." Rock on and eat well, Shep! And thank you, thank you!

Very engrossing stories about a man whose personal life I would not emulate, but who is a brilliant business manager for musicians, chefs, and other creatives.
Enlightening look into how Alice Cooper, Luther Vandross, Emeril Lagasse, and many lesser known artists became superstars.
Talent alone does not create a career. Fame corrupts. Drugs kill people and ruin lives. Helping others brings good things for everyone involved.

He's a man of his generation (read: a little bit of a pig) but there's something truly touching and endearing and wonderful about the way he approaches life. And yes, it's easy to be magnanimous when you're a millionaire, and yes, he name drops a lot, but my sense from the book is that his philosophy is genuine and allows him to be open to so much. I had seen the documentary and heard the interview with Marc Maron and still found a lot to appreciate about this book.

This biography, by the manager of Alice Cooper, amongst other acts, was a delight to read. Shep has a positive philosophy that permeates throughout the book. His stories are amazing, bordering on ridiculous if it wasn't all true. Its also short, coming just under 300 pages with the words have large print. Reads like the author has met you in a bar, or on a an airplane and just tells you about his life.
Would recommend.

Most people have never heard of Shep Gordon. Shep has been a major figure for Alice Cooper, Emeril Lagasse, Terry Pendergrass, Ratan Tata and many other hollywood & famous chefs. This book gets into the details of being a manager and running a successful business partnerships. Shep treats his clients with humility and class. This book is excellent and Shep delivers with many interesting stories.
The book starts of slow and really picks up pace with the Pendergrass story.

I can honestly say I did not know who Shep Gordon was until I heard him promoting his book on the radio. I was instantly intrigued and immediately got his book. What a guy! His life is unbelievable! His was involved with so many careers, start-ups and success stories. He is now on my list of people I would love to chat with over dinner. A must read for uplifting inspiration.

Pretty standard showbiz memoir--I remember seeing the author during the initial book tour, talking on all the standard talk shows. So when a cut-rate ebook deal came along, I said "Why not?". It's a fine way to pass a rainy afternoon, but nothing to put on a must-read list. Nice cover. Not much in way of shocking revelations or titillating detail.
February 5, 2017
I had no idea that Shep pretty much gave us the celebrity chef as we know it today. The Alice Cooper stories were a lot of fun, too (I somehow never knew that Alice Cooper was originally the whole band's name, but then they split and Vince became Alice in his solo career). He's led quite an interesting life, this guy.
March 30, 2018
Somewhat self-serving. Gordon seems to like the personal pronoun "I"
He seems to believe that because he states an opinion, that simple statement validates the veracity of his words. Just because he says something does not make it true.
No doubt he is very good at creating value and promotion of ideas and concepts, but his Supermensch ego could stand to be trimmed a little

I had no idea who Shep Gordon was until I discovered him in an AoC podcast. I was fascinated by him and started looking around for all articles about him. He had some many changes...from rockers, to chefs and Dalai Lama. A lot to talk about :)

Great book, it really is a book on how to be a mensch. The book is also spiritual and a life lesson. You learn what connection the Dali Lama, Alice Cooper, and Anne Murray. You would have to read the book to find out what that connection is.
November 17, 2016
This is mostly a set of wild, raucous, sometimes vulgar stories of being an agent to superstars--beginning with Alice Cooper. It's interesting and disturbing, but not extremely so for either. It's not a teaching book, though.
