With a Little Help from My Friends

As we gear up for launch day tomorrow, our friends at Riff Raf are lending a hand. Fellow musicologist and Riff Raf chief Richard Fulco recently invited me over to talk about the music that both inspired and inhabits Believe in Me. Hope you’ll stop in and check it out.

This also seemed like a good time to share some of the wonderful comments we’ve been receiving from early readers, each one a friend I’ve connected with along this fascinating path that weaves between the worlds of music and writing. My thanks to each of these gentlemen for their kind words.

“Written with authenticity and emotional honesty, Jason Warburg’s Believe in Me thrusts the reader into the combustible world of political activism and arena rock, where cynicism, power trips, and egos live together in unhealthy codependency. Warburg’s first-person tale digs deep and hits all the right notes, finding the humanity that makes activism compelling and music powerful. I believed every word.”
— Roger L. Trott, author of Getting in Tune

“Warburg’s writing misses nothing, and his prose sparkles with moments where the beauty of the language shines through the story. As soon as I finished, I wanted to read it again!”
— Jean-Paul Vest, singer-songwriter, Last Charge of the Light Horse

“Jason Warburg is an amazing writer who brings his talent to a new level exploring music and its relationship with the real world, co-mingling and driving the issues of the times.”
— Billy Sherwood, singer-songwriter-producer, Circa and ex-Yes

“A whirlwind ride through the breathless heights of megastardom.”
— Jacob Slichter, Semisonic drummer and author of So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star

Tomorrow: launch time!
