From the publisher: "The back cover picture of the historic poster of the Led Zeppelin - Who concert, is agreed among many as being 'the best concert ever,' (originals currently selling for big bucks) is just one example of why copies of this proof edition will, no doubt, be a valued collectible as well. Imagine yourself watching a movie and the next thing you know, not only do you see yourself on the big screen in a cameo role of a very popular movie, but you are being played by one of the biggest stars in the history of Hollywood! Then a couple of years later, after you forgot all about this cameo role and thought everybody else did too, you see this star dressed up as your clone again with your name and complete persona, dancing with Jennifer Lopez to music by Ludacris! Hold on, as great as you look, you can't help but ask yourself, why isn't that you for real dancing with J Lo? Then you go online, to find out that not only does your name bring millions of results, but an entire industry is being built around you! For openers, Paramount Films had 'committed' to producer Ben Stiller, $100,000,000 to make the Les Grossman movie. In addition, via Tom Cruise of course, who according to your Internet sources, has 'made you his alter ego' you are now involved with the production of a long list of projects totaling into the billions! Fantastic huh? But one hitch: so far no one has offered you a dollar! What do you do? After a couple more years of the 'Hollywood' people claiming you are made up, you decide to establish your brand and tell the World your side of the story! This book does exactly that, including the credit of producing in real time, 'the best concert ever' at the amazing age of 21, to documenting both direct and indirect ties to all the people responsible for Mr. Cruise's character and 'alter ego' Les Grossman! You will read the life story of the real Les Grossman, including characters he just about develops in 3D form all be it print. ***Les, am not sure what this sentence is trying to relay?!? *** This includes his Mom, who he went into the concert business with, and the exact conversation when she had the unpleasant task of telling him his beloved Father had passed on. Also included are many of the extremely talented musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, etc. he worked with and many others he traveled with. You will be motivated in knowing there are no 'life struggles' that can keep you from celebrating life as long as you don't let them.
