UPROARIOULSY FUNNY. WILDLY IRREVERENT. AMAZINGLY PENETRATING. BRUTALLY HONEST.
No one covers the music business like Shad O'Shea - and no one uncovers all of the dirty, rotten, sleazy, seamy con artist schemes and scams like Shad O'Shea.
Sex, lies, greed, big contracts, thievery, backstabbing, concerts, chicanery, cheating, movies, TV, hanky panky, radio, swindles, fame, deceit, fortune, mendacity, shams, royalties, girls, girls, boys, and more girls, quackery, riches, exaggeration, show-biz, flim-flams, fraud, fakery, forgery, falsehoods, fan clubs, fabrications, stardom, hypocrisy, empty promises, perfidy, parties, prevarications, perversion, orgies, claptrap, subterfuge, larceny, bankruptcy, drugs, double-dealing, divorce, dishonesty... and then there's the downside!
O'Shea writes from his own longtime personal experiences in broadcasting and the music business, and from thousands of interviews with music business greats and movers and shakers. He writes from the heart about a business he loves. But his pen drips with venom for those who would corrupt it with shady deals and deceptive practices.
O'Shea writes with non-stop, gut-busting hilarity through these three books. But with all the side-splitting laughter, and with all O'Shea's unbridled wit, there is an incredible amount of solid information you can put to use.
Each book is illustrated by one of the nation's top independent cartoonists - Mark Yanik, Bill Shields, and Jerry Dowling.
