In 1974, at the age of 17, writer Glenn Berger dished up as "schlepper" and apprentice to the famous tracking engineer Phil Ramone at NY City's A&R Studios, and was see to music background on an daily and nightly basis as pop and rock symbols such as Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Frank Sinatra, Burt Bacharach, Bette Midler, and James Brown performed their hit-making magic, honed their sound, strutted their products, bared their souls, and threw epic tantrums. On this memoir, filled with revelatory and previously mysterious anecdotal observations of these musical giants, Berger recounts how he quickly learned the ropes to go up from schlepperhood to assistant to the tyrannical Ramone, and eventually, to become a tracking engineer superstar himself. Not merely is Never Say No to a Rock and roll Star a fascinating, hilarious, and poignant behind-the-scenes look of this musical Mecca, but Berger, now a dominant psychologist, looking back again through the prism of his vibrant experience and his years working as a counselor and therapist, provides a telling and genuine examination of the nature of popularity and success and the corollaries between creativity, madness, and self-destruction.
