Book Description
Coral Amende has proven her knack for serving the dish on the entertainment industry with her exposs Hollywood Confidential and Country Confidential. With that same delightful irreverence and wicked wit, Amende applies her unauthorized commentary and resourceful research to the world of Rock 'n' Roll. Rock Confidential is packed with fascinating tidbits of gossip that are guaranteed to shock, surprise, and startle even those who consider themselves "in the know." Learn the truth about:
"Stage Names"-behind those wacky monikers and the ones that (thank God) were changed
"Performing Rites"-whose heartbreak inspired which songs
"Money Honey"-the richest stars, the biggest houses, the fastest cars, and the really weird stuff they buy
"Wild Times"-trashing the backstage dressing rooms, groping the groupies, threatening flight attendants, chain-sawing motel room walls
From secret aspirations and fetishes to catty remarks, legal battles, and groupie true-confessionals, Rock Confidential brings together exclusive anecdotes, rumors, quotes, and photographs of all the hottest and has-been stars.
