From Long's early recollections of being introduced to the band in the late 1980s to his first-hand experiences while touring as bassist Bobby Dall's personal assistant in the 2000s, A Shot of Poison offers lively, never-before published stories and photos.
Through the pages of A Shot of Poison, readers will become a "fly on the wall," gaining a unique glimpse into the heart-stopping highs and heart-breaking lows of this iconic combo.
