Rocket Norton Lost In Space
by Rocket Norton

It's a story born in the sixties, a story that booze couldn't drown and drugs couldn't squelch, a story obsessed with sex and unafraid to 'do it in the road' or anywhere else for that matter.

Author, Rocket Norton says,

“Aw Hell with the lawsuits, it's a story that's gotta be told.”


It takes place between 1964 and 1982 mostly in Vancouver but includes events in Seattle and all over Canada, the U.S. and Europe.   It focuses on life with The Seeds Of Time then the Rocket Norton Band and finally PRISM - all bands featured on the Pacific Northwest Bands website.  In telling the story, it also tells the story of the PNW music scene starting from 1956.

Rocket Norton, August 2006
