Just ask the world-famous musicians who played with him-John Lennon, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan, Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Joe Cocker, and many more. They knew him for his superior playing, extraordinary training and technique, preternatural intuition, perfect sense of time, and his "big fill"-the mathematically-precise clatter that exploded like detonating fireworks on his drum breaks. And as best-selling author and award-winning journalist Joel Selvin reveals, the story of Jim Gordon is the most brilliant, turbulent, and wrenching rock opera ever.This riveting narrativefollows Gordon as the very chemicals in his brain that gifted him also destroyed him. His head crowded with a hellish gang of voices screaming at him, demanding obedience, Gordon descended from the absolute heights of the rock world-playing with the most famous musicians of his generation-to working with a Santa Monica dive-bar band for $30 a night. And then he committed the most shocking crime in rock history.With full cooperation from the late Gordons family, and based onhis trademark extensive, detailed research, Joel Selvins accountis at once an epic journey through an artists monumental musical contributions, a rollicking history of rock drumming, and a terrifying downward spiral into unimaginable madness that Gordon fought a valiant but losing battle against.
