Hilarious,
revealing, outrageous, poignant, bawdy, and just outright
entertaining, Tales from the Rock 'N' Roll Highway takes
readers to places they have never been before-backstage, behind the
scenes, into the studio, on the road, into the minds, and out on the
street with some of the most famous names in music. Tales told by
musicians at all levels of experience, their roadies, radio
personalities, music journalists, tour managers, and fans offer
fascinating accounts of what really goes on during road trips and
tours, as well as the pranks, diversions, and outlandish behavior
that overcome the tedium and loneliness of the rock-and-roll life.
In their own words, artists tell about their daily lives, the
drawbacks to touring, and the opportunities they are afforded.
Included are stories about studio experiences, record company
interaction, macabre behavior, surprising encounters, groupies, drug
and alcohol excesses, performances, bus tales, fan encounters,
concert promoters, and off-hand evaluations of other rockers.
Marley Brant has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 30 years as a biographical writer, music producer, and artistic development executive. She is the author of Freebirds: The Lynyrd Skynyrd Story and Southern Rockers. She lives in Atlanta. World Distribution: 24.95 Canadian dollars and 10.99 UK sterling | |||||||||||||
