Andre Agassi has been making the PR rounds promoting his new tell-all autobiography and people are making quite a "racket" over the revelation that he was once addicted to meth. The Wall Street Journal read the book so we don't have to and in addition to his drug use, they share some of the other highlights and by highlight we don't just mean his blond streaked hair which also turned out to be a weave.

*When Agassi loses to Thomas Muster in the 1994 French Open, he becomes angry at Muster not because he beat him but because the Austrian mussed Agassi’s hair when they met at the net post-match. “I stare at him with pure hatred. Big mistake, Muster. Don’t touch the hair. Don’t ever touch the hair.” (Pg. 192)

*In preparation for her wedding to Agassi, Shields embarks on an exercise regimen and hangs an inspiration photo on the refrigerator door. The photo is of the woman who Shields thinks has perfect legs. The woman is Agassi’s future second wife, Steffi Graf. (Pg. 244)
