Hollie A. Rose

When Push Comes to Shove: Real Life on Dead Tour

Interview Published 2/14/26

Stu chats with Hollie Rose about editing, the concept of audience and the process of self-publishing her first book.

"We Tourheads were a transient city so large it was impossible to know everyone intimately, or even to know everyone’s names, but we recognized the faces and the energies that were Us. We knew who we were, and we knew, when we looked at each other, that we shared fates, shared futures. And, we knew too, why, and how, each of us had gotten here."
