Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry needed a singer for his Joe Perry Project and out of nowhere I got drafted. It was like winning the lottery. Much better though, because lotteries only pay cash. For the next two years I experienced things that money just can't buy. Living on the road with America's quintessential rock star, playing adventurous, rebellious music on big stages to huge crowds, signing autographs, finding romance and partying with my idols. I was on top.At that same moment Joe Perry was spiraling to the bottom. Health failing, marriage falling apart and deeply in debt. In order to stay one foot ahead of the tallyman the ex-Aerosmith star jumped into a Dodge van and hit the road, taking me and a few other newbies along on a mad dash across North America and beyond. Taking any gig he could get.I kept a daily diary of the entire 28 month journey. Documenting the unusual bond that develops between Mr. Perry and myself as we travel, compose and record together, film an MTV video and perform 226 concerts in arenas, roadhouses, race tracks and tin shacks.
