In the summer of 2005, three friends and I took an eight month
journey across the two continents of America and Europe. We were on
a mission: - to get ten of the world's most famous recording
artists to record a tribute album to an unknown songwriter; - And
that songwriter would be me. And as we travelled we were going to
make a road movie; an epic chronicle of our quest, and a testament
to our friendship. We made it and we called it, Tribute This The
adventures we had and the people we met changed my life profoundly.
Not only its present but also how I viewed its past. Apart from our
struggles with managers, publicists, security and even one or two
of the artists themselves, we ran into so many people from ordinary
walks of life; cab drivers, hotel porters, fans standing in line to
see their heroes, who couldn't do enough to help or encourage us on
our journey. For one long summer, we lived life so brilliantly; so
full of laughter and a gathering sense of achievement that I
wondered if the artists we were pursuing ever got to see life in
anything like the same way. In contrast they seemed so protected,
so hidden away, so cut off from the world that, towards the end of
our travels, the thought occurred to me that, at that point in
time, I wouldn't swap one year of their lives for one day of ours.
My hope is that, in reading my account of those heady days, you
will understand why. Billy Franks .
