"A series of rueful, witty and occasionally heartwrenching stories about riding the bus in L.A. These are folks living on the margin between nothing and everything, stuck between Rodeo Drive and The Highway To Nowhere. Doyle's gift is in capturing those tiny dramatic moments that linger for a brief moment on the periphery of vision.

But underneath the rigid, totalitarian grasp of the Colonial Authority, it's also home to the vibrant, ambitious, diverse and irrepressibly competitive indigenous population of the Moonborn, for whom life is a constant struggle for survival under the often cruel, sometimes insane, and generally shortsighted and...

"Josh Alan Friedman has chops like a wolf... This book deserves wide attention." --Jerry Wexler, Atlantic Records co-founder "A can't-put-it-down rock 'n' roll read ... a must for any fan of good music writing and great storytelling." --William Michael Smith, Houston Press "He dances off the page, improvises, hits all the grace notes.
