Ghosts and Ballyhoo: Memoirs of a Failed L.A. Music Journalist
chronicles Thomas Wictor's ten years in the Los Angeles music
industry and his quest to free himself from the past. Ostensibly a
memoir, Ghosts also asks - and possibly answers - provocative
questions about fate, destiny, and life after death. The book is
structured as a collection of anthologies rather than a continuous
narrative; the seven anthologies detailing Wictor's failed career
are separated by six interludes with the "Collateral Ghost," one of
the most brilliant, yet unsuccessful, musicians who ever played -
former Frank Zappa bassist Scott Thunes. Thomas Wictor's
experiences include multiple failures across multiple spectra and
an endless series of coincidences that always returned him to the
notion that there is a Plan. Losing nearly everything he loved gave
the author clarity, enabling him to see patterns of guidance and
sustenance visible everywhere once he was no longer blinded by rage
and negativity. This clarity exorcised Thomas Wictor and brought
him peace of mind, which allowed him to transform the anger over
what he lost into gratitude for what he once had. Written with
profane humor and no self-pity, Ghosts and Ballyhoo includes
previously unpublished articles, excerpts from interview
transcripts personal correspondence, and photos.
