This is the story of unflagging love-for music, for a partnership forged in passion and steel, for a life chosen, not imposed. Bill Sassenberger, owner of Pomona's Toxic Shock and Tucson's Toxic Ranch, friend and mentor to hundreds of music aficionados, writes with honesty and without self-aggrandizement about the adventure he shared with Julianna Towns, a briiliant beauty who walked into his record store and never left. Together they nurtured musicians, started their own record label, and explored the world, even when Julianna became confined by a series of strokes at an early age. Their love story intertwines with the history of punk rock and the musical revolution that was spawned from that in a book that will expand minds and break hearts.

Brian Walsby (illustrator). Tucson: Fluke Publishing:, 2024. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 200 pp. Cover artwork by: Brian Walsby Very interesting for a number of reasons. Toxic Shock was a record store and, as far as I know, is still a record label. They're outta Phoenix. Back in the day, the folks at TS did things. Wonderful things. Mostly musical, punky (so pretty political) and artistic things. Bill Sassenberger was the guy behind the curtain and the counter. This is his story and the story of the shop. Slick paper. Full color. All for $25. I don't know how he did it - he probably didn't - it's a labor of love. Lots of cool people, bands and historical events contained herein.
