In this episode, acclaimed musician Jessamyn Violet joins me to talk about her novel, ‘Secret Rules to Being a Rockstar’, a gritty, glittery, queer YA debut about a teenage musician who jumps at a chance to play in her favorite rock band on their upcoming world tour, only to realize her heroes have their own agenda and might be leading her down a dark path. In the last segment of the episode, ‘LA Weekly’ Culture & Entertainment Editor, Lina Lecaro, drops in to talk about the LA music scene in the 1990s, which is where/when Jessamyn’s novel is set, and some of the women who were rockin’ the town and the world at that time.
