From a legendary music journalist with four decades of unprecedented
access, an insider's behind-the-scenes look at the major personalities
of rock and roll.
Lisa Robinson has interviewed the biggest names in music--including Led
Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Patti Smith, U2, Eminem, Lady
Gaga, Jay Z, and Kanye West. She visited the teenage Michael Jackson
many times at his Encino home. She spent hours talking to John Lennon at
his Dakota apartment--and in recording studios just weeks before his
murder. She introduced David Bowie to Lou Reed at a private dinner in a
Manhattan restaurant, helped the Clash and Elvis Costello get their
record deals, was with the Rolling Stones on their jet during a
frightening storm, and was mid-flight with Led Zeppelin when their tour
manager pulled out a gun. A pioneering female journalist in an exclusive
boys' club, Lisa Robinson is a preeminent authority on the personalities
and influences that have shaped the music world; she has been recognized
as rock journalism's ultimate insider.
A keenly observed and lovingly recounted look back on years spent with
countless musicians backstage, after-hours, and on the road, There Goes
Gravity documents a lifetime of riveting stories, told together here
for the first time.
