SAY GOODBYE (Palm Pilot) ebook download Lewis Shiner

Say Goodbye

"I first heard Laurie Moss on Stanford's KZSU in early August of 1995. I was driving into San Francisco on the Junipero Serra and "Neither Are We," with its jazzy-but-distorted chords and Laurie's hurt and weary vocals, simply blindsided me. I turned up the radio and tried to fix the details of the song in my mind, afraid the DJ wouldn't back-announce and this music would pass out of my life without my ever knowing what it was."

Laurie Moss seemed to come out of nowhere, but behind those songs, behind that powerful voice, lies a history. This extraordinary book takes you from her Texas roots to her first recording contract, from her struggling days in L. A. to her final tour -- and beyond. It's also the story of her relationship with the legendary guitarist Skip Shaw, whose passion for self-destruction illuminated her career like a bonfire.

Lewis Shiner writes about the music scene with unequalled passion and firsthand knowledge. Critic Charles Shaar Murray hailed his Glimpses as "a superb contemporary novel, and a groundbreaking work of creative rock criticism" and BAM raved "a music lover couldn't find a better read."

The battlefield for Say Goodbye may be the music industry, but the novel's themes are universal: success and failure, love and loss, obsession and forgiveness. This book is Shiner's most profound and moving work yet, a deep and heartfelt novel peopled with characters you will never forget.

"All the virtues of old-fashioned story-telling -- a heroine you can love, a world you can live in -- told in the key of urban cool. Say Goodbye is a dream of a book, perfectly imagined, perfectly imparted. Shiner's voice comes through with all his usual passionate authority, and he never hits a false note."
KAREN JOY FOWLER, AUTHOR OF THE SWEETHEART SEASON

"Every band has an inner momentum like this, its entangles and wreck-tangles, moments of bliss mixed wi

Chapter One

Signs and Portents

"It was my first Friday night in LA," Laurie says in her press kit for the album. "I was stuck on the Santa Monica Freeway, thinking about buffalo. A vast single herd covering the earth from one horizon to the other, the way they used to, placid, lost in their own grassy thoughts, then suddenly careering off at top speed, all of them at exactly the same time.

"So there I was, cheek to bumper with all the other cloven-tired, sunroof-humped, Klaxon-horned metal ungulates, stalled on the concrete plains, watching the hot breath steam from their tailpipes, when the sky blew up.

"I didn't know if it was terrorists or nuclear war or the Big One that was supposed to drop us all in the Pacific, but it was clearly the end. Huge concussive explosions and fat orange cinders trailing fire out of the sky. Ashes on the windshield. Cars veering off onto the shoulder and me pretty sure I could feel the freeway shake under my Little Brown Datsun. I kept driving, though, because, really, this was what I'd been waiting for all my life: Armageddon.

"Anyway, I finally rolled my win ... read full excerpt from Say Goodbye ebook
