Before the release of the new editions of the legendary Man musician Deke Leonard's previous books, Rhinos, Winos & Lunatics, and Maybe I Should've Stayed in Bed? scheduled for 2020, we are thrilled to reintroduce his third and fourth books in their original editions. This volume picks up where his epic journey began in 1977. The once-mighty Prog-rock giants Man have imploded, leaving Deke to fight for the resurrection of his solo career. Follow his relentless struggle as he traverses the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, searching for the American Dream's gritty reality. Thrill to his ruthless gang warfare with London's criminal underworld and revel in his ability to make legends like Smokey Robinson laugh and Phil Lynott cringe before painting the town red with the iconic Tina Turner. The inevitable reunion with Man sees the Welsh rock outfit crisscrossing Europe, battling to reclaim their status as one of the world's leading acid rock bands. While on tour, Deke shares his guitar lessons with Alvin Lee, engages in a sword fight with Wishbone Ash, and even lectures Eric Burdon on stagecraft—all in his signature dry wit and inimitable style.
