In February 2012 I flew out to North Carolina to meet former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle ... Yada, Yada, Yada ... Five years later, he is on the cusp of entering literary immortality as the Hunter S. Thompson of Southern Rock - with a little help from me.

Artimus' memoir, "Street Survivor: Keeping the Beat in Lynyrd Skynyrd," is set for worldwide publication in October 2017 through Backbeat Books.

Artimus and I worked incredibly hard on this project, which will be the first and last book written by a member of one of America's greatest rock 'n' roll bands. The publisher wanted 80,000 words; we delivered 120,000. Artimus has a phenomenal memory and eye for detail, and it was my job to put everything into some sort of cohesive order.

“Sooner or later you go through the process because when the gun goes off when a race starts not everybody goes across the finish line. Not everybody has the same motivations. It’s not even about stamina. It’s about relentless, dog-headed, stubborn determination to cross that finish line.”
Dean Goodman, Strange Days: The Adventures of a Grumpy Rock 'n' Roll Journalist in Los Angeles
