SUMMARY

"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 forSay Goodbyemay 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.Shiner, Lewis is the author of 'Say Goodbye: The Laurie Moss Story - Lewis Shiner - Paperback - 1 STMARTIN' with ISBN 9780312263867 and ISBN 0312263864.
