Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!’), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I’ve recorded and can’t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This certainly doesn’t mean that I’m quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it’s like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in \u003cb\u003eNirvana\u003c\/b\u003e and the \u003cb\u003eFoo Fighters\u003c\/b\u003e, jamming with \u003cb\u003eIggy Pop\u003c\/b\u003e or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with \u003cb\u003eAC\/DC\u003c\/b\u003e and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for \u003cb\u003eTom Petty\u003c\/b\u003e or meeting \u003cb\u003eSir Paul McCartney\u003c\/b\u003e at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with \u003cb\u003eJoan Jett\u003c\/b\u003e or a chance meeting with \u003cb\u003eLittle Richard\u003c\/b\u003e, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on. \u003cb\u003eI look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39994821771361,"sku":"9781398503724","price":8.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31853341.jpg?v=1734682068","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781398503724-storyteller","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
