Sex, Trucks, and Rock 'n Roll: A Spiritual Journey
"In this wild ride of a memoir, Mason tours readers through 50 barnburning years of a life spent making music, running a business, and learning things the hard way. With power and emotion, Mason covers playing music since age 13, when “the applause was an embrace I had never felt before, sincere and warm in ways that made me shiver,” to the dissolution of his band, leaving him broke but not broken, and on to wild romps, moments of pain and beauty, and at long last finding the inner peace he had previously only seen hints of. Frank and funny, Mason shares accounts of the rock & roll life’s dark lows and spotlit highs, with welcome insight about bands (“those freewheeling poly-marriages that were sustained by our constant attempts to give birth to our dreams of fame”), music, and life itself." –BookLife Review

I love a rock star book. This wasn’t that. This man changed gears and found a way to support himself. And boy did he. He started a company that made him millions. He made some missteps along the way. He writes a rather wordy book that he uses a lot of metaphors and descriptive text. I must admit it wasn’t an easy read.

This totally wasn’t the type of book I usually gravitate towards. I was trying to explore new genres. I loved it! So glad I took a chance on it. Gave a good picture of the struggles of rock musicians of my generation.
