Product Description
In the years between the meteoric launch of Madonna and Countney Love, Petal Pusher takes readers on a thrilling journey across rock-and-roll - from the big-haired 1980s to the grunge-filled 1990s - when Laurie Lindeen brought her all-girl band Zuzu's Petals to compete in the indie rock arena. Always engaging, at turns hilarious and heartrending, Petal Pusher is an insightful behind-the-scenes look at music on the frontlines, and the awe-inspiring tale of one woman's triumphant fight against disease and the disillusionment of life in the rock underground.

noddybobump (USA: TX) (2007/05/14):
Choppy and sometimes incoherent, Laurie Lindeen recounts her story of the turbulent beginnings of her Minneapolis all girl rock and roll band, Zuzu's Petals. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is the anthem screamed by Lindeen's book, regardless of Lindeen's own lack of confidence and obligatory 1980's angst.. There is no doubt, You, the reader, are along on this journey--the good, the bad, the frequently ugly and incomprehensible. Sometimes juvenile, always brutally honest, the story evolves and grows up, finally, leaving the reader with a sense of relief that Lindeen, finally, is at peace with her past and ready to face the future with her head held up high.
