I bought it for the rock 'n roll (Nick Gravenites + around the world with the Jefferson Starship, ) but stayed for the death and dying. Part one is her sex and drugs and music stories…but it was part two, when she leaves music behind and begins working in hospice care (she's the living embodiment of the phrase "empathy"). I cannot recommend this book enough! It's both entertaining and inspiring.
Authentic personal story that also follows the journey of a generation…Let me say now that I found Nadine's memoir emotional moving and spiritually uplifting.

Nadine's one of the few people I trusted in this business.
Her contribution to San Francisco music as a publicist, promoter, and general band mentor is hard to overstate. The work she's done is exactly the kind that goes invisible almost instantly, yet without it, nobody would hear any music at all.
The one constant of the San Francisco music scene is a straight-talking Kentucky woman named Nadine Condon. She is rocks music's north star. It is no coincidence that most any band (including mine) coming out of San Francisco came through her office.
Nadine writes with truth and a perspective gained by hard work, hit records, and veteran experience.
