Peter Wolf, during the pandemic, found solace in reading books, particularly musician memoirs, which inspired him to reflect on his own story. Initially hesitant to include his experiences as frontman of the J Geils Band and his marriage to Faye Dunaway, he was encouraged by his editor and agent to share these details. His memoir, 'Waiting on the Moon', combines engaging anecdotes and insights about famous figures he encountered, emphasizing how personal details reveal true character. Wolf highlights the quirks and unexpected traits of those he met in a narrative that prioritizes storytelling over traditional memoir structures.
In writing the book I found that people reveal themselves best in the little details, he said. That's where you see what they're really like.
It took the combined force of his editor and agent to throw cold water in his face. They told me it would seem odd if I left those things out.
Initially, Wolf was so reluctant to include any details of his personal story that he didn't even want to mention his band.
Such thoughts had a major impact on Wolf when he was approached to tell his own story.
