Tribute (Paperback)

When you follow your dream... you never know where it will take you. Tribute is a love story about music. It's about an aspiring artist who dedicated his life to rock 'n' roll in all its seedy glory. It's about writing, recording, touring and performing music for the world, and having the world turn away. Follow the lives of two young boys - Jon Bon Jovi and Ted Moore. They both became talented and ambitious musicians. One was propelled to super stardom beyond anyone's wildest imagination. The other almost drowned in obscurity until one day he decided to become someone else. Ted Moore emerges from an excessive, self-indulgent fog and reinvents himself to pay tribute to one of the world's greatest altruistic rock 'n' rollers: Jon Bon Jovi. His band, Blaze of Glory, has reached a level of acceptance and admiration he never imagined possible. Moore takes the reader on a journey told with painful honesty, wit and pithy observations. He deconstructs a life spent dreaming of fame and spins a tale of hope, frustration, joy, and destruction. He emerges from his self-created inferno and rises above it to become a star in the world of tribute bands. A must read for anyone who has ever had a dream.
