Ballsy move by Perry Ferrell.
It's gonna be hard to top A Shore Thing by Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi insofar as celebritard memoirs go.
Not as bad as the Snooki biography http://www.amazon.com/Shore-Thing-Nicole-Snooki-Polizzi/dp/1451623747
Oh, it gets worse..

A Shore Thing by Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Check out the tags toward the bottom haha
I pity the guy who had to proofread Snooki's book.
No, wait. I take that back. She didn't write it in the first place.
Thanks for the heads up. I just looked on Amazon and I can pre-order it already!
Paris Hilton's dog is an author. And Michael Jackson's monkey doesn't even cite a ghostwriter on the cover.
I think you're disingenuously overestimating to what modern, non-academic authorship implies. People are given book deals not because they're grammar police, but because they have something other people may pay to hear. Sometimes that is Snooki's attempts at erotica, sci fi written by models. But the requirement for modern, pop authorship isn't literacy or even writing ability, a publishing house can provide ghostwriters and editors to fake those.
They can't fake a brand.
