Book Description
So you want to be a roadie? If not, at least you can learn about the life of a roadie. The journey is fun, dangerous, bizarre, sad and at the very least never quite boring. These are backstage stories, rules, life experiences, memories, bus trips, hidden bits of eye opening moments and relationships among those who live under so many stars.
If you are just now getting into the world fresh out of school, then this is a must read before you decide to commit to such an intense life. It’s not always so awesome as you might think it is. Yes, a lot of famous little secrets are bequeathed to you. But the cost could be very high. Sometimes too high to survive mentally.
So many fresh new people join the ranks of the entertainment world without ever really knowing some of the most basic rules and expectations from day one. Some learn quickly, some learn the hard way. Some never learn and then move on to a different life. Life backstage and under the stage is so different today than so many years ago.
Are you able to handle the intensity? Can you handle the bizarre, the strange, the egos or the ramblings of a millionaire that no one will say no to? It’s as real as it gets in here and it’s not always bright and sunny.
These are stories and experiences from hundreds of roadies, technicians, musicians, actors and those who just hang around them. These are memories based off of millions of miles in a tour bus, a van, station wagons, and various forms of trucks. It took over 30 years to write this story. The story continues every day still as you read this.
It’s the story of the unsung hero of the underworld of all public events from rock concerts, to corporate meetings to press briefings and even into product release launches.
They live among us!
