Surf's Up in Purgatory - Paperback

by David Travis Bland (Editor), T. Kyle Petersen (Foreword by), Michael Spawn (Author)

If you've ever wondered what rock band is Satan's favorite, what makes Joe Walsh the Kurt Vonnegut of the electric guitar, if Laurence Fishburne has any tips on the art of seduction, or if Stevie Nicks was right about rulers making bad lovers, wonder no more. Surf's Up in Purgatory is the debut collection by author and musician Michael Spawn. Like tracks on a favorite mixtape, Spawn draws from eleven years' worth of music journalism, cultural criticism, essays, arguments, short fiction, and tour diaries to tell the story not only of the places he's seen and the people he met along the way, but of a city, Columbia, South Carolina, and the cast of artists and dreamers that call it home.
