Product Description
If Howard Kaylan had sung only one song, the Turtles' 1967 No. 1 smash hit “Happy Together,” his place in rock-and-roll history would still be secure. But that recording, named in 1999 by BMI as one of the top 50 songs of the 20th century, with over five million radio plays, is only the tip of a rather eye-opening iceberg. For nearly five decades, Howard Kaylan has been a player in the rock-and-roll revolution. In addition to his years with the Turtles, Kaylan was a core member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention and the dynamic duo Flo and Eddie, and part of glam rock history with Marc Bolan and T. Rex. He's also given street cred and harmonies to everyone from John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Alice Cooper to the Ramones and Duran Duran, to name just a few. Howard Kaylan's life has been a dangerous ride that he is only too happy to report on, naming names and shedding shocking tales of sex, drugs and creative excess. Shell Shocked will stand alone as not only one of the best-told music-biz memoirs, but one with a truly candid and unmatchable story of rock-and-roll insanity and success from a man who glories in it all.

I combined this with something not coming out until May to go over the $25 free shipping limit....so Amazon is going to hold this hostage for me until then.

Got to see him last night at Grammy Museum. As a member, I bought my copy on the AmExp pre-sale, and they gave me a free copy of the book. Howard did a signing after, and I also got him to sign a Flo & Eddie CD. Great evening, although Mr. Kaylan sure doesn't seem to care much for Gail Zappa.
