Scott Leifer releases ‘rock n’ roll biography’ from wannabe rock star titled ‘I Know The Words’
Who the heck is Scott Leifer? There are likely many Sleaze Roxx readers wondering this as they read this article about Leifer‘s new book I Know The Words – “Unbeliefable” (But True) Stories of A Wannabee Rock Star.
Amazon indicates:
“Dive into the extraordinary world of “I Know The Words,” the most unique and unbelievable rock n’ roll biography ever written. Scott, a seemingly ordinary “nerdy bank examiner,” takes center stage in this wonderfully detailed memoir. Prepare to get up-close and personal like never before with rock legends who’ve collectively sold hundreds of millions of albums.
Feel the full spectrum of emotions as Scott, with no rock star looks and minimal musical ability, miraculously finds himself sharing the limelight with the likes of KISS, Rick Springfield, John Waite, and Sebastian Bach. From the heart-pounding performances to unforgettable encounters with members of Scorpions, Poison, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, and more, this is a journey filled with endearing moments and inspiring stories.”
