The voice of this book is rattled. Someone living a crazy life, but seems so juvenile. Always rolled with the high and lays never seeming to grow up (for better or for worse)

Hilarious, harrowing and rigorously honest. Epicenter reporting from many of the most exciting music scenes of the past 55 years. Not for the faint of heart or stomach.

GTO Miss Mercy was one of a kind, and kind of a mess, but I'm so happy she shared some of her incredible stories in this book before she passed. No one else is going to be honest enough to say
Spoiler"Oh yeah, after I had sex with Chuck Berry, he asked me to shit in a bucket while he watched."


I also love that Mercy believed she survived her countless traumas because of her excellent musical taste. Same girl, same. Also, I think your friend Pam deserves at least 50% of the credit.
