LIFE IN THE FAST LANE IBD

Sinopse

The 1970s RockâÇÖnâÇÖRoll Road is paved with myths and stories. Some of them are mine.áIn this fictional autobiography, events and names are often changed for privacy, but much of it is mostly true...áFrom 1971-76, I crewed 1,100 shows with over-40 top rock bands, including Led Zepplin, Elvis, Linda Ronstadt, Loggins & Messina, and the Rolling Stones. I was not a musician or a roadie, I was theásound equipment TruckáDriver. If I didnâÇÖt get the sound gear to a gig on time, the show could not go on.áI have dozens of tales inspired by my own observations and experiences. I met hundreds of memorable people on the road andábackstage. I saw rock stars âÇÖup close and personal,âÇÖ as well asátheir groupies and fans.áI learned patience, the value of being prepared, and how a little appreciation goes a long way.ááIn the Seventies, RockâÇÖnâÇÖRoll graduated from psychedelics and weed to cocaine and speed. The music venues grew from bar-band dives to 100,000 seat stadiums. Equipment transportation mushroomed from a single roadieâÇÖs van to 50-truck caravans onámulti-city tours hopscotching stages and lighting trusses between three stadiums at a time.áAlmost 50 years later, interest in RockâÇÖnâÇÖRollâÇÖs evolution has caught up with me and my âÇÖdriverâÇÖs logâÇÖáhas finally fermented into a brew worth sharing. If you were there (or wish you had been),áI hope you enjoy thisá"backstage pass"áto what you wonâÇÖt read in rock star biographies.á~ ~ ~ ~ ~áGlennâÇÖs fictional autobiography writing style reminds readers of Hunter S. Thompson andáTom Robbins with a dash ofáE.L. Doctorow. á"Ride shotgun" with Glennáas he tours the 1970s RockâÇÖnâÇÖRoll underworld again...á"GlennâÇÖs years as âÇÖAce DriverâÇÖ offer a behind the scenes look and expose which few people have experienced and no one else has meaningfully conveyed to us RockâÇÖnâÇÖRoll junkies." ~áJon Zelazny, writer & Pushcart Prize short fiction nomineeá"If you love rock and roll, and you want the whole story, then this very real back-story of the music of our lives is a mandatory read. The reality of Glenn SchiffmanâÇÖs Life in the Fast Lane is deep...áAn amazing chronical of the RockâÇÖnâÇÖRoll road." ~áMerel Bregante, country-western music producer, former drummer for Loggins & Messinaá~ ~ ~ ~ ~ááá
