Jim Gordon was a kid who loved to play drums. Where would that love take him? Basically, everywhere!

His inventive, musical percussion style created an incredible demand for his services. Having Jim on drums could change the fate of a recording project, and often did!

The success and impact of Gordon's playing was legendary, long before the June 1983 murder of his mother, Osa. The voices "won" following a long, arduous struggle with his mental health. The voices in Jim's head led to a series of heinous actions, leading to murder and prison, after a decade of trying to get help for his then-undiagnosed mental illness.

Author Joel Selvin (Altamont: The Rolling Stones, Hollywood Eden, Summer Of Love) visits The Imbalanced Boys to discuss his forthcoming book: Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey Of Jim Gordon, out February 27th through Diversion Books!

While the music plays a huge part in this episode, the discussion centers around Jim's story, his illness and its effects on the lives around him.

Listen, sure! But be sure to read Joel's new book when it hits at the end of February!
