"John Gilmore is one of the best nonfiction writers of our time, the type of writer that grabs the reader alternately by the throat and by the heart.  The stories he tells in this, his first book of memoirs tell tales of broken hearts, broken dreams and broken lives. John Gilmore has crossed paths with the famous and the infamous and while some have walked away with their lives and souls intact, most have been carried off by anger and death, we should feel fortunate that John Gilmore has remained behind to tell  his stories."
--Maximum Rock'n'Roll

"John Gilmore is one of America's natural-born gifts to literature. His books aren't just wicked and inspiring by-products of genius:  they're miracles.  I don't know how he keeps telling the truth of things when so much of our mental landscape is shrouded in darkness and stupidity.  I adore him.  He's the best ever." -- Gary Indiana.
