The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

<b>So, I’ve written a book.</b>   Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (‘It’s a piece of cake! 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.    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 <b>Nirvana</b> and the <b>Foo Fighters</b>, jamming with <b>Iggy Pop</b> or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with <b>AC/DC</b> and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for <b>Tom Petty</b> or meeting <b>Sir Paul McCartney</b> at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with <b>Joan Jett</b> or a chance meeting with <b>Little Richard</b>, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on. <b>I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement. </b>
