Produktbeschreibung

On a September afternoon in Santa Barbara, a private jet carrying the members of Poor Ghost--one of America's most storied rock bands--plunges into the backyard of Caleb Crane, a retired insurance salesman. Poor Ghost moves back and forth between the impact of the plane crash on Caleb's life, and an oral history of Poor Ghost, from its beginnings as a working-class punk band to rock icons.
