She's the drummer. In comes Jimmy Destri from Blondie. He thinks the Student Teachers are terrific! And then he falls in love with Laura. He pulls her into the glamorous life of Blondie and introduces her to David Bowie. Bowie takes an interest in Laura's band, attends their rehearsals, and sets them up to open for Iggy Pop at the Palladium on Halloween 1979. It's the beginning of amazing success in rock 'n' roll! Until, in 1980, Laura is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Does it all fall apart? Later, at a dinner with Bowie, he whispers something to Laura. And it helps her save her life. In prose that flows like music, Laura Davis-Chanin presents a rich work of narrative nonfiction that is not only deeply personal but also revealing of the punk rock heyday in New York City. Infused with rare photographs, this book is a journey through a unique, ephemeral life experience."--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Davis-Chanin, Laura. 650 0 Women punk rock musicians|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Women drummers (Musicians)|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Punk rock musicians|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Drummers (Musicians)|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 7 Drummers (Musicians)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00899057 650 7 Punk rock musicians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01084156 650 7 Women drummers (Musicians)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01177595 650 7 Women punk rock musicians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01941560 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 994 92|bCKE
