Stories from the Air, Flying Some of the Biggest Rock N' Roll Stars of the World... From the zany to scary moments!
Ever wonder how your favorite rock stars got from city to city during the golden age of arena tours? Climb aboard for Michael's personal memoir of arranging private flights for some of the biggest names in music throughout the '70s, 80s, and '90s. Yeah, we'll touch on the darker side of private aviation in rock history - those legendary artists we lost too soon - but there's so much more to this story.
This isn't your typical celebrity tell-all filled with gossip and drama, instead, Flying Rocks takes you behind the scenes into the controlled chaos of coordinating private air travel for rock's biggest tours. It's an insider's view of how we kept the show moving, literally, through the skies. If you geek out over aircraft, have a passion for rock history, or just love hearing wild tales from backstage and 30,000 feet up, this book is for you. Settle in for either a quick hop through some crazy stories or a full journey through an era when rock and aviation created their own kind of magic. Fasten your seat-belts!
Entertainers including... Jimmy Buffett, Grateful Dead, Heart, Commodores, Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Guns N' Roses, Barry Manilow, Elvis, and more.
Author's Note: Just a heads-up before you buy: I'm not a professional writer, and you won't find textbook sentence structures here. I actually got chastised in a past review for it! I wrote this book like we're just sitting in a cafe or bar, chatting in everyday street talk. It's raw, casual, and definitely doesn't meet the standards of grammatically perfect academic writing.
So, if you need flawless prose, pass on this one. But if that conversational vibe sounds like your thing, dive in.
