We Just Disagree: The Story Of Dave Mason
Bill DeYoung, Goldmine, 16 February 1996
IN ROCK 'N' ROLL, the road may go on forever, but the shoulders are littered with carcasses. To be a survivor, a rock musician has to be able to take the bumps, bruises and creased fenders, to clear hurdles and cross bridges, all the while keeping the gas tank from running dry. There are temptations, frustrations and eliminations, and if you can't run that gauntlet, baby, you might as well put it in the garage and pull down the big door.
