Once upon time, in the late 70s in Hollywood, there lived a rising star. His name was Ziggy Diesel. Most people have never heard of him. He never wrote a number one hit or toured the world or had millions of fans but he did have his time. In 1979 Ziggy's career was in full swing. He had just signed a record deal, he was young, beautiful, and set to launch in a big way, but something went wrong, very wrong and Ziggy Diesel lost it all.
There are some who say he was a causaility of the rock and roll life style, fueled by hard drugs, hard drinking and the roar of the crowd. He had hundreds of girl friends and did more drugs than just about anyone of his time and for the late 70s that's saying something. At the dawn of the 80s Ziggy had hit bottom. With no money and not much more than the clothes on his back he disappeared into rock and roll lore and was left with nothing but the memories of what could have been. This is his story.
