ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Why is now the right time to write a memoir?
I grew up with rock n roll, and rock n roll grew up with me.
And then there was the folk movement, doo-wop, and R&B.

I was in the thick of it all.
But this book is not just about music, its about reinventing a life and overcoming personal challenges.
How did you help remind yourself about the events you wanted to cover?
Were you a journaler?
Did you interview friends and family?
Somehow I knew my life would change dramatically, and it did.
Many of my friends and family have also added their recollections.
Why did you want to release new songs along with the book?
Theres a lot people dont know about my musical roots from childhood.
I wanted to create a kind of companion/soundtrack to the book.
