You’ve probably read about Led Zeppelin’s success in their famous biography "Hammer of the Gods". You watched Queen take over the world in "Bohemian Rhapsody". And although you probably won’t admit it to your friends, you enjoyed the crazy TV ride in Motley Crüe’s "The Dirt". Rock bios are all the rage. Lead singers, guitarists, managers, roadies, groupies, even drummers have told their tales and they all point to the same reason for their success...The Fans: This is their story. This is our story!

In "I May Be Old but I've Seen All the Cool Bands", we read the story from the point of view of a life-long music fanatic. Read how music helped turn a shy kid into an extroverted metal head and how a passion for rock can shape anyone’s life. And laugh along as you try and understand how anyone could blow off a legend like Whitney Houston!
