There Goes Gravity: A Life in Rock and Roll por Lisa Robinson
Lisa Robinson is definitely a name-dropper as she writes about her experiences hanging out with, and writing about, rock and roll bands and stars.

There are some interesting tales here, although Robinson's sometimes misogynistic take on some of the women, and her hero worship of others, sometimes interferes with what the author is trying to do.

On tour with the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, U2, the Clash, Lennon, and more. At the heart of the New York punk scene. Very opinionated--no pretense to journalistic objectivity here.
A light and easy read of quotes by musicians such as Stevie Nicks, Adele, Beyonce, Linda Ronstadt, Rhianna, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Mavis Staples, Debbie Harry, Jennifer Lopez, and Lorde about sexism, fame, money, groupies, family, road life, stage fright, and musical influences. Big, mysterious slam on Taylor Swift.
