Ronnie Rush has lived a life that defies the odds-repeatedly. As a roadie for the legendary Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, he ran with rock royalty during the last great wild decade of American music. But Twist of Fate isn't just a backstage pass to the 1970s. It's something rarer: an honest reckoning with the invisible forces that shape a human life.
Rush has brushed up against history in ways that would stop most people cold. He narrowly escaped the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash. He watched a happy accident give birth to Playboy Records-and a #1 gold record his band never saw coming. He built a second career as a large-market radio DJ not through careful planning, but through the kind of serendipity that looks, in hindsight, like destiny.
Yet for every triumph, there was loss. The death of his brother. The passing of his closest friend, the musical genius Danny Hamilton. The moments where fortune's coin landed the other way.
Drawing on encounters with Hollywood icons like Donna Douglas and Micky Dolenz, and anchored by a hard-earned faith in what he calls God's perfect timing, Rush writes with the clarity of a man who has survived enough to know what actually matters. He doesn't offer easy comfort-he offers something better: proof that even the most devastating detours can lead somewhere worth going.
Twist of Fate is a memoir about music, loss, luck, and the remarkable web of connection that links us all. For anyone learning to ride life's hundred-foot waves, it's an indispensable reminder to stay busy living.
