Strange Days: The Adventures Of A Grumpy Rock 'N' Roll Journalist In Los Angeles

Music journalist Dean Goodman sneaks you backstage to hang with surly stars, paranoid publicists, and righteous reporters in Strange Days: The Adventures of a Grumpy Rock 'n' Roll Journalist in Los Angeles. Strange Days documents unusual encounters with 22 musicians and bands, from a tearful David Bowie, a combative Phil Collins, and a gloomy Michael Hutchence to warring members of Aerosmith, the Doors, Guns N' Roses and Lynyrd Skynyrd. It also details the nuts-and-bolts of music journalism: deep research, the thrill of a successful interview, the agony of a disastrous one, the drudgery of transcribing the contents, and relief at turning the nuggets of wisdom into a story.
