A free download of the original recording, plus six new bonus songs is included inside.

When a 30-something guy swaps a toupee from hell for a SWELL GOATEE, will it turn his bad luck on its head?Following a year wearing a hideous hair system, after a lifetime of dicey decision making, documented in his tragicomic memoir, Hell Toupee, Mitch Friedman flees to Greece and returns with a new lease on life, his first goatee, and a glass more than half-full of self-confidence.Are sparks of romance and a successful career in the arts in his future, thanks to the pleasing ring of hair around his mouth, or does he fall back into the same old self-inflicted sabotage?Join him as he ventures forth to San Francisco, England, Iceland, Brooklyn, and New Jersey. Along the way he studies songwriting with Sir Ray Davies of The Kinks, works for Howard Stern, Ellen DeGeneres, and James Brown, collaborates with Andy Partridge of XTC, meets The Residents, boosts Larry David's enthusiasm, and tickles Bjork. In his spare time he records seven albums, writes two books, and helps rescue the world's best/worst public access television show from the crap heap of history.

Conservation Confidential recounts the wild path Mitch Friedman took from radical Earth First activist engaging in controversial protests to the founder and longtime director of Conservation Northwest. The book documents challenges, success stories, and key lessons along the way to helping preserve Northwest ancient forests, peaceably recover wolves in the region, and much more.​Part memoir, part guide on strategy for activists and liberal citizens, Conservation Confidential offers the distilled wisdom of experience that Friedman searched for as a young activist but couldn't find. These provocative lessons are timely not only for conservation campaigns but for our national political moment at large, extolling the virtues of collaborative tactics that succeed by enacting common values rather than polarizing. Here is the rare instance of an accomplished activist leader challenging his own movement to reject its hubris to better serve both nature and our ailing democracy.
