I think the situation of working with his father was probably true, and the spigot anecdote is either made up, happened to someone else, or greatly embellished. Which makes you wonder how much of the rest of his autobiography is also a load of crap to continue promoting his career. The guy is a total suburban sellout, and frankly, I think his rise to relative fame in the profession is largely due to his pathetic pandering to antiquated WASP dictums.

If you follow this crap to its logical conclusion, it would be: This woman made you realize that no matter how hard you work, it won't be hard enough for some racist, ignorant people, so just remember that.
