***PRESALE***
 
Written by: Vicky Hamilton
Not your typical poetry book. 

Raw, emotional, true music industry and life experiences. 

"Success is dangerout. It makes people weak and sometimes even creates monsters. 
Being in that kind of fuckery, like forever, I guess Vicky needed to say things as she sees them. As luck would have it, she's a badass writer, so instead of singing she spills the beans in feverish poetry.

And Vicky: to misquote Hank Moody, "It's not your fault, you're like fly paper for the emotionally disturbed."


--- Martin Svensonn, writer of autobiographies for Perez Hilton, Matt Sorum, Samantha Fox, Christopher McDonlad, etc, and writer of songs for Avicii and ATRON, etc.

A memoir from a Rock N Roll manager / 80's - Big hair, bigger egos

 

Vicky has been on a wild ride over the last 30 years in the music industry and has gifted us a glimpse of her journey in her very own memoir, Appetite For Dysfunction!

This memoir is about a small-town girl who follows her heart to Hollywood for her love of rock music and the musicians who make it. Vicky finds success as a music business professional, only to lose it all after chasing a dream that becomes a nightmare because nothing and no one are what they appear to be. It’s about hitting the bottom of a dark and lonely abyss to then climb out triumphantly and sober.

 

This book shares her undeniable optimism, hope and faith-eternal, and is a must read for anyone who is a music fan, curious about the golden era of the record business or is chasing a dream of their own!

Some of the artists that Vicky has worked with in their humble beginnings and explore in this book include; Guns N Roses, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Stryper and Faster Pussycat.

Poem

I’m A Thunderstorm

 

I’m lost like August Rush,

Following the music,

Hoping to find my home.

 

The notes fill the air,

Whirling, spinning yet turnkey,

Pressing stars with a wind battered kite in the night,

I listen and pray,

Galvanizing dreams that magically manifest.

 

Lightening,

Followed by a thunderous boom,

The rain pours down

Then rising back up,

Penetrating fame,

Then is lost once again.

It’s a romantic notion,

The roar of the ocean,

The calling of the lion heart,

Passion pierces the heart of creativity,

Somehow symphonic yet solo.

 

Moving in quickly,

Leaving the same way,

For the artists in my wake,

I’m a Thunderstorm.

 

 -Vicky Hamilton
