Ozzy Book Signing!

Ozzy signing his new book at Barnes & Noble in Sacramento on Oct. 21st, 2011

Lonn Friend publishes his latest book....Sweet Demotion!


I finally had the pleasure to meet Lonn Friend in person tonight at the Ozzy book signing in Sacramento.  Lonn in responsible for my first nationally published picture in Rip magazine back in 1990 and also the first time I ever got paid for shooting a rock concert.  I had only talked to him on the phone a couple of times.  It was great to finally meet him and I got a copy of the new book while I did and he even signed it for me.  I also have to acknowledge Scott Capizzano for recognizing my talent and for calling Del James from my apartment and making the connections.

Here is that first published picture of Neil Peart of Rush.

I think this is the issue it was published in.

I have yet to crack the new book open, but I would already highly recommend it.  His last book, Life on Planet Rock, was a great read and was the first book I've read cover to cover in 20 years and sparked a new love of reading for me.  If you have any love for 80's rock and metal and or grew up then......you will love Life on Planet Rock!
