Gliders Over Hollywood

'This is the best book about how it used to be ... the only book I can remember that truly details what it was like inside the star factory.' Bob Lefsetz, The Lefsetz Letter 'So, you want to work in the music business? How much do you know about it? The answer is clearly not enough--no one in their right mind could countenance such a career! But if you must, then you need this book. Rapper was there. Not only that, but he remembers most of the detail, which is more than can be said for his subjects, who have a tendency to rewrite history as they would have liked it or justify actions that should have put them in jail. It's about as close as you can get to the action without having that gold Access All Areas pass.' Nick Mason, Pink Floyd 'I am beside myself and beyond words that Paul has written this book. He's The Inventor Of Rapp, you know.' Elvis Costello 'It took an essential symbiosis of artists, record companies and radio to make the musical memories we all hold dear. Without Paul's personal creativity, energy, and enthusiasm, the Blue Öyster Cult would never have reached the audience and endurance it has. It's the same for every artist he connected with!' Buck Dharma, Blue Öyster Cult 'The depth and thoughtfulness of Paul's approach to promotion should be a lesson to every would-be music person, regardless of what avenue they pursue. This should be required reading in every college music business program.' Mark Spector, manager--Joan Baez, Graham Nash, and more
