Praise for Laurie Lindeen and PETAL PUSHER ""Terrific... Lindeen is smart, prickly, self-laceratingly honest, and laugh-out-loud funny... Her gritty insider account is one of the best music-related books ever."" -The Village Voice ""Oh, those really were the days. Lindeen gets them right, in all their pre-MySpace, pre-cellphone, ragged, clumsy glory. And most of all, Lindeen's whip-smart mind and massive heart make them shine.... Riveting."" -Washington Post ""Sharp and sensitive, stoned silly and serious, all in the right places...a love song (played really fast).... A truly wonderful book about life in rock music."" -Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""Petal Pusher is so personal and true, like the best music and the best writing. Laurie Lindeen is the rarest combination of both-an author who knows how to put her musical soul on every page of this wonderful book. It's a road trip, a diary, and a beautiful dance through the elixir-filled rooms where music is made, greatness is courted....and finally found in the quiet perfection of Lindeen's own life. -Cameron Crowe ""Laurie Lindeen mine[s] story gold.... Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious and always entertaining."" -Sacramento Bee ""Waxes giddy and snarky about cute boys, rival girls and the music biz....Courtney Love would approve."" -USA Today ""Entertaining and insightful."" -Associated Press ""A hardscrabble, heart-tugging and often hilarious coming-of-age memoir that's really more coming of rage. -Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN) ""Inspirational."" -Kirkus Reviews ""An inspiring tale of how a strong but self-conscious woman overcame debilitating multiple sclerosis and subpar musical ability not only to sustain a respectable musical career but also to find the love of her life."" -Library Journal
