On the Road: Rock n Roll Stories

by Phil Mason

This is a memoir of running rock n roll tours all over the world, with major artists and bands and all of the craziness that goes with it. A real warts and all story of the behind the scenes goings on in the weird world of rock n roll.

Phil Mason was a manager and organizer of tours and worked with the likes of Run-D.M.C., Madonna, Ozzy Osbourne ,Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Billy Joel, The Police, Public Enemy, The Beat, General Public, The Pretenders, Commodores, Kool & The Gang, Slayer, Toto, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Talking Heads, Womack & Womack, Robert Palmer, David Bowie, Queen and more -- and he has wonderful stories to tell about it all.

It is also the memoir of a kid from the backstreets of Birmingham who rose from working at the Bourneville Cadbury's factory to running major international tours.

It is a cultural history of the times and a great read about the way the world works, from meeting Howards Marks, bumping into 'The Serpent' in jail in India and mixing wit the high and mighty.
