So what do you wanna know? My second novel, The Flowers Lied, a rock 'n' roll coming-of-age story, is now available. It's the second book in the Freak Scene Dream Trilogy. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0990... "If Lester Bangs had ever published a novel it might have read like this frothing debut..." – Rolling Stone “Radioactive as Godzilla" – legendary rock critic Richard Meltzer “Kerouac in the 21st Century.” – Jack Kerouac biographer Dennis McNally “Penned in a staccato amphetamine grammar…” – Simon Warner, author of "Text And Drugs And Rock 'N' Roll: The Beats And Rock Culture" “Holden Caulfield meets Lord Buckley?” – founder of The Realist Paul Krassner And so is my first novel, True Love Scars. http://www.amazon.com/Scars-Freak-Sce... Culture Critic Roy Trakin picked True Love Scars as one of the ten best books of 2014. Read his review here: http://www.daysofthecrazy-wild.com/cu... Praise about True Love Scars: “Michael Goldberg is comparable to Kerouac in a 21st century way, someone trying to use that language and energy and find a new way of doing it.” – Mark Mordue, author of Dastgah: Diary of a Head Trip “True Love Scars reads like a fever dream from the dying days of the Summer of Love. Keyed to a soundtrack of love and apocalypse, Writerman pitches headlong into a haze of drugs, sex and confusion in search of what no high can bring: his own redemption. Read it and be transformed.” – Alina Simone, occasional Op/Ed columnist for the New York Times, author of Note to Self and You Must Go and Win Some of my background: When I was a kid, rock ’n’ roll and literature made life worth living. Or rather, it was literature that rocked my world—“Treasure Island,” “Crime and Punishment,” the Hardy Boys books, the Oz books, all those sexy 007 novels—until I turned 12, and then rock ’n’ roll—The Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, The Yardbirds—blew my mind. Well girls trumped both, but that’s another story. Beginning in 1984 I spent 10 crazy years talking to everyone from George Harrison and George Clinton to Brian Wilson and Stevie Wonder for Rolling Stone where I was an Associate Editor and a Senior Writer. My writing has also appeared in Wired, Esquire, Vibe, Details, Downbeat, NME and many more. In 1994 I’d founded Addicted To Noise (ATN), the highly influential music web site. Newsweek magazine called me an “Internet visionary.” I joined forces with SonicNet in 1997. I was a senior vice-president and editor in chief at SonicNet from March 1997 through May 2000. I currently publish the video-and-audio-intense culture blog, Days of the Crazy-Wild at www.daysofthecrazy-wild.com. Any other questions?
