David Ritz is a songwriter who has collaborated with stars like Janet Jackson and Marvin Gaye, as well as a renowned ghostwriter who has authored more than fifty books for some of the biggest stars in music: Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Lenny Kravitz, Joe Perry, Smokey Robinson, Don Rickles, and Willie Nelson, to name a few. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Essence, People, Art Connoisseur, and elsewhere. He lives in Los Angeles with Roberta, his wife of nearly fifty years.
"Joe Perry has been the AxeMeister longer than some of you have
been alive. He's been there, and done that. He has been the
consummate six-string gunslinger for a band that has always done
things their own way. Joe never went Hollywood. Joe never looked
over his shoulder to see who was running behind him. Ever the
gentleman rocker, Joe sits high atop of rock royalty. Admit it.
You're jealous. When I grow up, I want to be Joe Perry."
--Gene Simmons
