On the Road: Rock n Roll Stories
by Phil Mason
Trade Paperback
From the book publicity:
This is a memoir of running rock n roll tours all over the world,
with major artists and bands and all of the craziness that goes with it.
A real warts and all story of the behind the scenes goings on in the
weird world of rock n roll.
Phil Mason was a manager and
organizer of tours and worked with the likes of Run-D.M.C., Madonna,
Ozzy Osbourne ,Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Billy Joel, The Police,
Public Enemy, The Beat, General Public, The Pretenders, Commodores, Kool
& The Gang, Slayer, Toto, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Talking
Heads, Womack & Womack, Robert Palmer, David Bowie, Queen and more
-- and he has wonderful stories to tell about it all.
It is also
the memoir of a kid from the backstreets of Birmingham who rose from
working at the Bourneville Cadbury's factory to running major
international tours.
It is a cultural history of the times and a
great read about the way the world works, from meeting Howards Marks,
bumping into 'The Serpent' in jail in India and mixing wit the high and
mighty.
