Condition: Very Good. KISS & Tell by Gordon G.G. Gebert is a raw, no-holds-barred rock-and-roll memoir that pulls back the curtain on life behind the scenes of the 1970s-1980s hard-rock world-without nostalgia, censorship, or hero worship. Written by a working, touring keyboardist, not a journalist or fanboy, KISS & Tell delivers an insider's view of the music business as it actually functioned: chaotic, ego-driven, opportunistic, and often absurd. Gebert chronicles his experiences recording and touring with major artists including Ace Frehley, Marty Balin (Jefferson Starship), Angel, and others, capturing the reality of life between soundchecks, hotel rooms, record deals, and backstage politics. This is not a sanitized celebrity memoir. It's a ground-level account of the grind-bands rising and falling, managers scheming, record labels posturing, and musicians navigating fame, money, sex, substances, and survival. Gebert writes with brutal honesty and dark humor, exposing the myths of rock stardom while celebrating the adrenaline, camaraderie, and insanity that defined the era. KISS & Tell stands out for its unfiltered voice and outsider-insider perspective. Gebert wasn't chasing myth-he was trying to make a living in an industry that chewed people up and spit them out. The book captures the unglamorous truths: broken promises, backstage betrayals, sudden success, and even faster collapses. Fast-paced, profane, and sharply observed, KISS & Tell is equal parts rock memoir, cultural snapshot, and survival story. It's for readers who want the truth-not the press release-about what it really took to ride the rock-and-roll rollercoaster during one of music's wildest eras. If you think you know how rock careers actually worked back then, KISS & Tell will correct the record. Gordon G.G. Gebert (illustrator).…

"The catalog essays serve as three separate viewpoints on the Gordon collection. We thought this arrangement would be useful to reader who wish to understand the materail through the reactions and ideas first of the collectors; second of a museum curator, Barbara Luck, who has spent more than twenty-five years studying the full range of material often called folk art; and third of a freelance writer, Tom Patterson, whose thoughtul probing brings fresh insight into the environments and experiences that incluenced certain artists' lives and thus their art. Taken together, these essays function not only as personal statements by their authors but also as guides in analyzing the material and its makers, as alternate waus of gaining an appreciate understanding of the forces that shaped this richly imaginative and often provocative art." - quoted from introduction.…
