Synopsis

"In this wild ride of a memoir, Mason tours readers through 50 barnburning years of a life spent making music, running a business, and learning things the hard way. With power and emotion, Mason covers playing music since age 13, when “the applause was an embrace I had never felt before, sincere and warm in ways that made me shiver,” to the dissolution of his band, leaving him broke but not broken, and on to wild romps, moments of pain and beauty, and at long last finding the inner peace he had previously only seen hints of. Frank and funny, Mason shares accounts of the rock & roll life’s dark lows and spotlit highs, with welcome insight about bands (“those freewheeling poly-marriages that were sustained by our constant attempts to give birth to our dreams of fame”), music, and life itself." –BookLife Review

Takeaway: Blazing memoir of debauchery, transcendence, and rock & roll.

In his raw memoir, Ben shares the secrets of his evolution from being a self-centered rockstar to a successful entrepreneur and loving father. Through his deep connection to sacred Native American rituals and the mystical energy of the land he calls home, Ben learns to embrace his true self and let go of the trappings of fame and fortune.

Navigating the ups and downs of his personal and professional life, his story is both a vehicle and a soundtrack for his spiritual awakening. Through his music and art, he channels his inner struggles and ultimately finds solace and acceptance in his own skin.

With transparency and vulnerability, Ben invites readers to embark on their own journey of self-transformation. By sharing intimate thoughts and feelings, he offers clues and inspiration encouraging readers to overcome their own struggles and find inner peace, kindness, and prosperity.
