Gail ROCKS! She's a rare breed in the world of rock journalism. Knowledgeable, a great writer and just plain fun to be around, there are so many times when she made my day a little brighter and my job a lot easier!

Gail is one of those treasures, who, like a skilled documentarian, has an eye for what’s genuine and worth discussing in her field of expertise.

And she’s fucking cool to party with at 3AM.
