Cameo critic: David Foster

January 24, 2009 at 9:17PM

David Foster is a multiple threat: producer, songwriter and author. Best known as the producer of Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Josh Groban and other pop giants, he published his memoir, "Hitman: Forty Years of Making Music, Topping the Charts and Winning Grammys," last fall. He's endorsing another book, Lee Iacocca's "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?"

"It's fantastic. I love his honesty. He's not a Democrat; he's not a Republican. It's hard to tell what he is. He's smart. He says things like, 'Before I pick my candidate for president, let's hear who your teams are going to be. When I vote on the football game on Sunday, I know the team.' So it's full of things like that."
