Backstage Passes - Memoirs of an American Showman (Paperback)


Backstage Passes chronicles the unique, unusual and oft-times humorous stories of Frank Lynch, who spent many years in the entertainment business. Actually the stories are not about the author himself but the famous people and events that he happened to work with or at. The author takes you backstage as if you yourself had a backstage pass to see what really goes on behind the scenes. Read about the famous and not-so famous as they perform and entertain the masses. From Elvis Presley to Michael Jackson, learn at how being famous can be a burden. Read and laugh at the antics of the eccentric "Pied Piper of the Jet Set" Hugh Shannon and run away with the circus for a day and it's biggest star the late animal trainer Gunther Gabel-Williams. The author's experiences span four decades and run from James Brown and Elvis to Motley Crue, to the world of professional wrestling and even organ grinding monkeys .
Each chapter is a separate story about a celebrity or event in and of itself and the book can be read from start to finish or by the reader's individual interest in certain celebrities. Either way this is a great fun read of what happens backstage, behind the curtain and you have an all access pass
