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
jounralism'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.
