                                      “Most of the time I can’t even reveal how I got in, let alone backstage, 
                                   especially the nights when I wasn’t on ‘the list’ and I had no pass. 
                                   But where there’s a will, there is a way.”
                                  —Bruce Christensen


                    Backstage Pass: Crossing the Line is a humorous collection 
                    of short stories and crazy-ass tales about getting into some 
                    of the coolest sold-out performances and underground rock 
                    concerts in New York City and elsewhere. Headlined shows, 
                    late-night happenings, impromptu jams—whether in a famous 
                    arena, dive bar, or legendary club—Bruce Christensen has sought 
                    out the finest musical acts of our time. Some of his encounters 
                    are ridiculously funny. Others are just outrageously unbelievable. 
                    This unusual collection is a must-read for all rockstar lovers.




                 
        “Your reputation for sneaking into shows is LEGENDARY.”
        —Mike Noble, ABC News

       “It seems Bruce has the ability to make himself invisible. I wouldn’t be remotely 
         surprised if I found him taking a nap in our tour bus someday.”
        —Fathead, the Dandy Warhols   

        “When he arrived in New York, twenty-five years ago, he worked as a roadie 
          for the music producer John Scher. (‘Van Halen, they really did want the 
         M&Ms picked out,’ he said. ‘I was there in ’88. I saw that shit.’) He also 
         worked as a bartender and as a bellhop.”
         —Ben McGrath, the New Yorker
