Not Only Women Bleed: Vignettes from the Heart of a Rock Musician

Description

Growing up ordinary into an extraordinary life of sex, drugs and rock & roll, Dick Wagner shares a lifetime of experience as lead guitarist and songwriter for Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Lou Reed, Kiss and more. Poignantly recounted stories of youthful days on the road and years of hit recordings, with intimate tales of debauchery, sexual promiscuity and drug abuse that led to near fatal health issues. Wagners life is a roller coaster ride of artistic success, courage and redemption. Blatantly profane and psychologically profound, Wagners wit and candor bring the reader directly into a lifestyle that few have known. After a heart attack, stroke and brain surgery leave him disabled and drying up in the desert, Wagner finds enlightenment in the ICU and takes the reader on a journey of courage and commitment. His return to live performance is an inspirational celebration of packed venues and critical media acclaim. Wagner is an intuitive writer. His colorful tales of reckless behavior are told through a portal of emotional honesty that deeply resonates with insight into the human condition.
