by Jory Farr
Rock and roll started as a devil's dance and a shout of ecstasy, and ever since it has carved its path between those who want to control it and those who want to push it to the edge - or over the edge. A blend of profile, criticism, investigative reporting, and history, Moguls and Madmen is a compelling look at today's often explosive, at times out-of-control, music industry. It's a collection of stories from the culture's shadow world - tales of guns and gangs, sex and drugs, greed and lawsuits - told through the eyes of both the moguls seeking power and money and the artists seeking fame and fortune. Jory Farr, a Pulitzer Prize nominee for his popular-music criticism, presents a haunting, behind-the-scenes view of some of the most influential and controversial people in this strange world. In Moguls and Madmen, you'll meet Geffen Records A&R hotshot Tom Zutaut, the man who signed Guns N' Roses and tried to turn Nymphs lead singer and she-demon Inger Lorre into the next star of grunge
