Review
The first "how-not-to" book for a career in music by a man who's stumbled from one gig to another (he averages around 200 a year) for more than 20 years. Predictably, he's accumulated some pretty good stories, and here are 23, told with a puckish wit somewhere between Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson and Garrison Keillor. Peopled by famous singers, a couple of movie stars, a Luftwaffe pilot, two ghosts, a Bishop, a famous senator and a host of other colorful characters, these shaggy dog tales will keep readers readin' with entertaining descriptions of booze and babes, guns, drugs, brawls, a high-speed chase, and a one-nighter in a polka band. Recommended by the American Library Association. -- Book Description
