Jack Mingo

Jack Mingo's book How the Cadillac Got Its Fins has just been released in paperback from HarperCollins. Even more recently he consumed extra-hot coffee and "pie" from McDonald's while listening to a Kinks tape he made for his sister, who lives near a GM test track. The Genuine, 100%, No Shit Story of Gumby's Eastern Mysticism marks his Web debut.
