As the lead singer of New York-based indie rock band Knockout Drops, Campion got a taste of fame (but, alas, no fortune) on a wild ride that lasted from the early 1980s through the 1990s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEscape from Bellevue\u003c\/i\u003e puts the spotlight on the collective psychosis of twenty years spent in a rolling bacchanal. Just as the Knockout Drops reached the height of their success, Campion began his downward spiral. After finally coming to grips with his addictions, Campion molded his songs and stories into a sold-out off-Broadway musical. Now, presenting these tales in a memoir of madness and redemption, Campion once again proves to possess the creative genius of a die-hard front man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Avery","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44322797125859,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781592405305","price":118.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781592405305.jpg?v=1735036821","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/escape-from-bellevue-9781592405305","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
