Did you hear the one about when Bozo the Clown ran for President and two assassination attempts were made on his life?

How about the time Bozo flew into the perilous jungles of New Guinea to see if he could not just survive but actually bond with dangerous cannibal tribes?

Then I guess you might not know as much as you think about the world's most famous clown.

Some guys want to visit every major-league ballpark. Other people retrace their family’s history through Europe. McKenzie’s quest simply had more ear-shattering volume.

Adventures with Ace Frehley, Phil Collen, John 5, Warren DeMartini, Steve Vai, Tommy Thayer, Bruce Kulick, Stacey Blades, and many more guitar greats.

Think of the heroes. Imagine tracking them down, meeting them, and learning their secrets.
