ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Linda Kelly experienced her first concert when she was fifteen—the Sex Pistols’ very last show at the notorious Winterland—and has been a great lover of music ever since. She majored in journalism at San Francisco State University and has been a writer/editor for the likes of Spin Magazine, Mix Magazine, Quokka Sports, Lucasfilm, and Astrology.com/NBCUniversal, and penned lyrics for the Spin Doctors. After seven years in New York City, she now lives back in her native Bay Area in the Haight-Ashbury district—just blocks away from the Grateful Dead’s home in the sixties—where she's busy collecting more experiences and stories to share. As Bob Dylan once told her while on tour in 1989, “You gotta do something!”
