Starshot :
ISBN: 1979682216 OCLC: 1083102131

"A story direct from the backstages, behind the scenes and deep into the corporate offices of one of the largest music publication and record distribution companies in the world. Starshot follows the life and musical career of David Joseph Glossack, or as millions of fans know him – Deejay Gloss. Following his life from the 1960’s through his discovery and emergence into the entertainment industry, Gloss became a superstar. With his partner John DeVoe and ally Jim Clark, the world is his to woo and seduce. Through the 70’s and into the 1980’s the golden years of music, Gloss will ride the rapids of fame. It’s all there, very unforgettable scene. All the Music, artistic conflict, love, hate, sex, drugs and yes, Rock & Roll, is laid naked for you to see. One man wanting the freedom he feels he has earned, the love Gloss has sought out, the rough, violent, depraved world he claims as his own is his to conquer. How does Deejay do it? How did any artist manage? It’s here, the things you remember, details never revealed till now scenes you never dreamt possible."--Amazon.com
