Dispatches from the Musical Multiverse David MacGregor

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Pete Best had never left the Beatles? If Janis Joplin had lived? If Elvis had starred in "Saturday Night Fever?" In truth, all of these things happened, just not in this universe. In this book I bring back tales from alternate universes, tales of pop and rock stars, fans, and hangers on famous and obscure, tales of surprising successes and unlikely failures, tales that will shock you or make you laugh or cry. You will learn how slam dancing started, what the inspiration for some of Jim Croce's most famous songs was, and what went on behind the scenes in the filming of "Rocky". All from the privacy of your own universe.
