The stories of rock musicians who die young are legendary, with accidents, drug overdoses, and plane crashes claiming the lives of male rock stars in their prime. But what happens to their widowed brides? How do they cope with such a profound loss? And where are these widows today? "I Can't Remember if I Cried" is a book that explores these questions through interviews with rock widows conducted by Lori Tucker-Sullivan, who herself lost her husband in 2010. Each widow's story is framed by Tucker-Sullivan's own narrative, creating a single thread that connects the stories and ultimately tells the tale of how Tucker-Sullivan's life was changed through her interactions with these remarkable women. Among the women profiled in the book are Judy VanZant, Sandy Chapin, Crystal Zevon, Jamie Weiland, and Janna Leblanc. VanZant sued Lynyrd Skynyrd to protect her interests after losing her husband Ronnie, Chapin has worked tirelessly to uphold Harry Chapin's legacy of activism and hunger prevention, Zevon has shared details of her abusive relationship with Warren Zevon and how she resolved her anger and grief, Weiland has spoken openly about Scott Weiland's mental health issues, and Leblanc has shared the details of her visits with Stevie Ray Vaughan in rehab.
