Story
No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Story
The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

This audiobook does not illuminate the workings of Avid, Final Cut, or Premiere, and is not a meditation on film editing. What it is: a provocative, wide-ranging collection of strategies and tactics for the creative application of TV and video editing, no matter your editing tools.

If you plan on, or happen to fall into film and video production as I did, read this book, then read it again every time you have a new production until it is all instinct. Download the pdf and study it. This book will help you skip a lot of misdirected energy, and huge mistakes, just read it.

Famastic Resource - Get the Hard Copy
I truly loved this book. It covered all the nuances of producing that I wish had been covered in my *actual classes* on the subject. It also provided a ton of great example paperwork. Truly a trove of useful and important information. However!! I will be returning the audio book and trading it in for a hard copy. Budget sheets are pretty dry listening, and I'd much prefer a physical book to refer to sections quickly and visually now that I've listened through once.
